My mom got searched when she went to california. My mom is about the nicest lady youve ever met and was kind of upset and felt really really uncomfortable with the whole thing. Im kind of glad they searched her though i feel like if she can get picked then anyone can. I also think everyone should have to go through the full body scanners. My thoughts are if you want to fly in our skys then you should have to prove youre not going to do something that could kill everyone on board and possibly people on the ground too.

I also think they should be able to search your luggage for bombs, not for drugs though. It all comes down to protecting people who are flying while in America. Its kind of like dui check points; they can do them for the safety reasons, but you can have dogs at check points to sniff out for drugs because thats evasion of your privacy and convenience.

If they were searching your lauage because they thought a bomb might be in it or it was part of their random searches for bombs and broke your zipper because you had a lock on it, then i think thats your fault and im glad TSA isnt lazy to where they wont search something cause it takes extra effort. But if they broke it because they thought there might be some drugs in it or they were just plain careless opening your laugage then thats complete bs.
