Seniors get the TSA runaround, lose $300

"When I was patted down, I've never before been touched in every part of my body before," Woodward said.

As the search went on, the couple — both widowed who met a few years ago at a bridge game and fell in love — became increasingly concerned about missing their flight.

Finally, they were released and told to retrieve their belongings. But only four bins were handed over to them. When Petti inquired about his $300, a senior security official was called over. Petti says this officer insinuated that they were mistaken about the missing cash, instructing the two to take off their shoes again, check their pockets again. "When I told him we were going to miss our flight he asked me if I was objecting or refusing his request." Petti says. "I said: 'No, I'd do anything I was asked, I would just like to know where my $300 went.' "

1. There's about four people who should never handle money, guns, or power again.

Not only do they need to lose their jobs, they need jail time, exactly the same as if they had dragged this couple into an alley and taken the money.
