TSA kicked her off plane for 'bad attitude' after she DRANK her bottled water purchased INSIDE the airport instead of allowing them to test it for toxins

An irate airline passenger has filmed a TSA agent detaining her in Houston Airport for no reason other than her 'bad attitude', she claims.

Uploading footage of the incident on YouTube, the unidentified woman says a TSA agent attempted to test her bottled water for explosives before she boarded her flight, but rather than allow him to do so, she drank it.

The TSA agent then told her that she was missing her flight because of her 'attitude'.

'This was inside the terminal at the Houston airport,' the woman says on her YouTube channel.

'I was not allowed to board a plane (even though I had already been through airport security) because I drank my water instead of letting the TSA "test" it.'

In the video, the woman asks the TSA agent point blank if she is being stopped for security reasons.

'Let me get this straight, this is retaliatory for my attitude, this is not making the airways safer it’s retaliatory,' she says.

'It pretty much definitely is', he responds.

Though she missed her flight because the agent 'was mad', she said she was able to catch another flight out of Houston with an upgrade, thanks to United Airlines.

Still, the incident is not sitting well with her.

'I know this is not really news (it seems like the TSA is retaliating all the time against people), but it was a little satisfying to get that statement on video,' she said.

The TSA has defended this controversial policy in the past, claiming that 'random testing of liquids at departure gates' is 'nothing new'.


To perform a liquid test, the TSA agent drops a test trip into the cap of a beverage container to determine if it is toxic or not.

If it gets a positive result, the beverage and the passenger are taken in for further investigation.

'Liquid screening at gates is random and it isn't happening at every airport every day,' the TSA said on its blog post in defense of the practice.

'If everything we did was always the same, it would provide a checklist for people to know exactly what to expect.'

A similar incident occurred in Columbus, Ohio, when TSA agents were filmed canvassing passengers sitting at their boarding gates, sipping on beverages they had purchased after they passed through security.

'The TSA is way out of control. I understand that my ranting to one of these $11.00 per hour TSA goons probably does nothing, but you have to say something.

Whats next...perhaps the TSA will come to your home prior to your drive to the airport? The police state of the U.S. is OUT OF CONTROL!' the passenger that posted the video protested.
