On January 15th, Alyson Galen was on her way to Florida from the Philadelphia International Airport. As she was approaching the security screening area, a TSA screener pulled her out of line. She was taken aside and given a thorough search behind a Plexiglass barrier to determine if she was carrying anything as awful as the Dallas Cowboys jersey she was wearing.
Though security never told her why she'd been pulled aside and Galen never asked, as she was putting her shoes on, she says a screener approached her and said "How's it feel to be a Cowboys fan in Philadelphia?" Ooh, burn.
The mother of three did not file any kind of formal complaint, but she suspects she was targeted for her football affiliations and is demanding an apology.
TSA's heartfelt response was "TSA trains our workforce to screen each passenger with dignity and respect. If travelers feel they have been mistreated during screening, we encourage them to ask for a supervisor at the checkpoint."

AS A SPORTS FAN, SHAME ON YOU.
SPORTS IS ENTERTAINMENT TO BE ENJOYED, NOT ABUSED.
IF A FAN CHOOSES TO WEAR TEAM LOGO OUT OF STATE, THAT DOESN'T GIVE ANYONE RIGHT TO INFLICT ANY TYPE OF TORMENT. PHYSICAL OR MENTAL. (TSA) ARE PEOPLE WHO FAILED TRYING TO GET IN AS POLICE, SO THEY TRY TO BULLY PEOPLE FOR THIER SHORT COMINGS.
START TRAINING THE RIGHT WAY TSA.
AND DON'T JUST SAY IT DOESN'T HAPPEN!!!!
