Talk show host who complained of TSA harassment has only himself to blame
Skift Take
It's one thing to take a principled stand against troublesome TSA practices and another thing altogether to claim government harassment when your past behavior gives agents a reason for secondary screenings.
Ian Freeman, the co-host of Free Talk Live, a national libertarian political talk radio show broadcast on more than 100 radio stations, and four television stations, andcandidate for State Representative from Keene, New Hampshire, makes an interesting claim … he claims he is on a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Super Secret Special Searched list. Mr. Freeman believes that as a result of being on the TSA’s Super Secret Special Searched list he is subject to being searched every time he travels because he speaks out regularly against the TSA … but this is not actually the case.
