Humming A Different Tune

Folk musician Vance Gilbert on Tuesday posted a lengthy open letter on his website about a recent experience on a flight from Boston to Washington, DC he claims left him “frightened” and “humilated."

His offense? Reading a book about planes.  From the 1940s.  He was motioned off the plane and questioned about his books referring to planes from WWI and WWII.  This was their reason for pulling him off the plane.  This isn't quite as bad a harassing mentally challenged passengers, but it's still an appalling sign that TSA doesn't get it.  And at this point, I feel safe calling that they never will.

Idiots.
