Link to an OP from yesterday? Guy got through airport without scanner or pat down?
I told my male friend about this article and was going to send him a link to the OP that posted it. I forgot to do this and now, this AM, I cannot find the OP.

Can anyone help? TIA...:hi:

1. It's a non-story story
Forget it, it has nothing to do with the TSA scan/gropes.

Guy returns from an international flight. The airport is built in such a way that exiting international flights dumps the passenger into the domestic secured air side. Since he hasn't cleared TSA security overseas, he's supposed to go through TSA security.

However, and this is the meat of the story, he's just trying to leave the airport to go home. Doesn't intend to fly domestically and shouldn't have to pass through TSA security. He has free time and decides he's going to force the issue. Eventually TSA agrees to take him around the air side and he exits the airport.

Other airports have this design, Atlanta being one.
