Check out this TSA checkpoint surveillance video with commentary, which is pretty self-explanatory.

I don’t have a whole lot to add, beyond Matthew’s analysis. I’ll simply say that while the passenger was an idiot for trying to physically take the cooler from the TSA agent clerk, the agents clerks aren’t exactly acting professionally and this just shows how far we’ve stooped. Oh well.

This is absolutely outrageous. If I were the passengers involved, I would get EVERYONE'S name for the civil lawsuit... I would contact the AARP, Alzheimer's Association, news outlets, church groups, everyone.
@ Uncle - Sadly, this is still America.
The voice over is rediculously biased. The passenger was an idiot. It should be perfectly clear (right or wrong) that you don't screw with TSA when that's who you have to get through to get on aplane. Yes their rules are rediculous, but that is not an excuse. Yes, TSA can be more professional, however, they don't have to. Just do what you're told. Pick the battle you can win. This wasn't it, use your brain.
Holy shit.
I just find that it is absolutely despicable how the TSA checkpoint woman laughs and texts on her phone after the incident as if she find it amusing that granny and her applesauce can't go through. Just my two cents...
