In contrast, TSA doesn't trust ANYONE, that is why they search EVERYONE, even military men in uniform. TSA has its' government mandated rulebook and nobody is going to get in the way of 'government procedure', not even a decorated Marine Veteran.

I can't help but wonder if the security guards searching him ever served in the Armed Services of the United States.........because if they had, they most likely would have shook his hand and expressed their gratitude for his service instead of trying to FEEL HIM UP.
so whats your problem with this policy? (red)

wouldn't be much of a security process if TSA personnel could make judgement calls like you seem to think should be policy.

If you recall the Marine corps trusted Lee Harvey Oswald as well, before he then defected to the USSR, and subsequently shot Kennedy.

Everyone should be subject to the exact same security requirements, regardless of who they are.
