| Topic | The TSA broke my luggage lock and went through all my stuff. |
| Trialia 11/07/19 6:41:28 PM #45: | Frankly, this sort of crap is one of the major reasons I haven't travelled to the States since 2005, and have no plans to visit again anytime soon. I am no criminal, but I value my privacy and the TSA already broke my earbuds on my first trip (which had been both my first flight and first trip outside the UK). Not to mention their believing I was a junkie and a drug mule purely because I was 19 & struggling with hypoglycaemia, so I was a bit shaky. For one thing, I dread what the TSA might do to my electric wheelchair, and with its being four grand of essential equipment without which I can't do any more than stumble across a hotel room, and knowing how many chairs the airlines alone destroy or damage past use, I'd really rather not risk it. I'd love to see Miami again, and DC, but I'm not going anywhere near unless and until their treatment of non-citizen travellers and disabled people improves. Drastically. It means missing the 2021 Worldcon, but that can't be helped. --- Trialia ~ unfaithful-mirror.net PSN: Trialia_X, Xaedere (100%) | XBL: trialia, Noquelle (100%) ... Copied to Clipboard! |
