ONT has always been a pain, at least with me. I was wearing a sweater over my uniform shirt, and was removing it in line. They said I needed to use the restroom to do that, or they would take action. I didn't argue as I was pressed for time.

This sucks!

Until you see something official I wouldn't worry too much about it. I've heard so much bs from TSA supervisors over the past 10+ years I don't pay too much attention to what they have to say.

Just saying. You 121 guys are dressed the same whether you are commuting, or actually flying the trip right? Sans the FedEx/ups guys.

I think the guy was pulling your chain. Just went through SFO and LAX. No issues. Sounds like a government db to me.

TSA has Ontario by the short hairs right now because the agency has never been onboard with the screening practices at the station. Security would like for everyone to lay facedown and spreadeagle!

What kind of airplane do you have Albie? PC-12?

Business has been good for Albie lately and looking even better in the future. He has a Falcon 900 now.
