All I can say is thank goodness there was a camera recording this encounter. If all of this is true I hope the Supervisor gets fired or worse and the gentleman wins his day in court.

PHILADELPHIA —
A traveler detained for more than 20 hours after a search of energy bars and a sports watch in his carry-on bag at an airport has sued the Transportation Security Administration and accused a TSA supervisor of lying.
Architect and runner Roger Vanderklok said he was arrested after asking TSA workers how to file a complaint. He said he spent nearly a day in a holding cell without being questioned by police or given the chance to call his wife, who was frantic.
"It's difficult to lose control of your existence. That's what it amounts to," Vanderklok said Wednesday. "I was absolutely terrified."
Well bet that will teach him it is not nice to not lick the boots of you masters.. unless he wins a big settlement..
Jeeze.. the level of pure corruption and criminal action by officials and cops in Philadelphia is starting to make even Chicago seem like a pillar of civic virtue.
While the FBI is off chasing racist police departments in Missouri, someone needs to point out they have much more corruption to bust, MUCH closer to home for their travel budgets. Just up the road in fact....
They could spend years there and still never get every dirty cop and political leader running that place into the dirt.
