The situation was ridiculous... it is, unfortunately, a common occurrence... not just with TSA but with any law enforcement. I have been harassed about having $2100 in cash before (in Michigan) and they weren't going to give it back to me until I could prove where I got it. Luckily, I had the check stub in my car. The cash wasn't half of the problem though... the real issue there was that I was with my buddy Wesley (who is black) and I had driven him down to a convenience store where his sister worked so that he could talk to her. It was about 8:30PM and I stayed in the car parked in the parking lot. Next thing you know... I have a cop pull up behind my car (blocking it) and the cop made me get out of my car and he searched me and pulled everything out of my pockets and put me (in cuffs) in the back of his car while they searched my car for drugs. Of course, they didn't find anything... It is the #1 reason I moved out of Michigan.

On the other hand, that dude in the middle is a loon talking about govt controlled capitalism... that was just a veiled attempt to swipe at Obama (FAIL). Maybe these guys should actually go into the real world where you can be detained and harrased for being white in a black neighborhood or the other way around.
