The TSA & United Disagree Over TSA Policy

fwiw, our company gives away a custom card game, and too many decks of cards in a bag leads to a search every time. Densely packed paper or card stock apparently disrupts x-ray imaging.

I've also seen similar warnings at airports around programs for the Super Bowl and NCAA finals.

Ben, don't you keep up with the news? It's to foil the comic book based explosives that the terrorists are plotting with to take down airliners lol.

Soon, all books will be banned by the current US administration, working closely with the governments of Poland, Turkey and Saudi Arabia.

May it be from holograms? I know that the hologram stickers often placed on tags for sports-licensed merchandise often set off X-ray machines.

@Chuck Lesker "Soon, all books will be banned by the current US administration"....

That's totally Fake News. On the contrary, it's just been leaked to the NYT by an anonymous source that soon everyone will be required to carry a hard back copy of The Art Of The Deal with them at all times. Rachel Maddow will have a 3 hour Special Report about that on MSNBC tonight. It's certainly 'Must See TV'. 🙂

ROFL - imagine trying to pry a christian bible out of someone's hands. lol. Though I'm sure all other books will be banned soon enough in 'merika.

Okay... some of the passenger interface issues with United at least had some emotion, etc involved. When this thing popped up somewhere within San Diego Management, SOMEBODY should had stepped forward and asked where the hell this came from. It would have been so simple to check with the TSA.

This shows a real culture issue. Amazing.

I flew out of the San Diego airport two weeks ago and Delta had very similar printed signs taped to each check in kiosk saying something to the effect of "ESRI Attendees: Remove conference books from checked luggage." I wasn't there for the conference, so I didn't have any books in my luggage to start, but I thought it was odd.

So it's not just United. It seemed like a lot of people were getting the "random" metal detector beep for additional screening also, and I got the notice my checked luggage was inspected by the TSA for the first time in a while, as more anecdotes.

Good morning from Kazakhstan,

I can hear the people collectively laughing about 'Murica all over town here this morning.

As pathetic and ridiculous United can be this really takes the cake.

Remember your copies of "Fahrenheit 451" next time you fly the unfriendly skies. Or will that get you dragged off the plane by fake rent-a-cops?

Both disgusting groups United and TSA

Most likely to lie: TSA

Have to side with United on this one.

Face it Ben, you don't like UA because they don't give you freebies like the mid-east puppet
airlines give to you.

Never had great experience on United. They purposely overbook their flights. Have had several probs with this...and TSA sucks naturally... both can rot in hell....

Was United contacted to provide a response and were they given a business day to respond?
Responsible journalism please.

Maybe airlines are trying to minimize extra bag screening which might delay on-time departures? Just a gues.....
