Ninth Stage

TSA drone breaks this guy’s laptop and the supervising TSA goon says move on or you’ll be arrested.

I start heading over to my laptop and belongings, and the TSA security guard was pushing my stuff to the end of the line. I approached the end of the line to collect my stuff as the TSA guard perhaps “lost control” of the tray my laptop was in … it CRASHED to the floor — cracking the bottom of my laptop, breaking the battery tray door, and damaging the hings to my screen.

I wasn’t happy about this… I was rather upset! I approached the TSA guard who dropped my laptop and I asked him what he was thinking. He didn’t even apologize to me. Then I asked him how we could resolve this matter. And he told me that there were too many people waiting to get through the line, and I should move along as not to hold up the screening process. So I asked him again, where can I file a claim to resolve the damage done to my laptop. That’s when the supervising TSA guard walked over and told me that I should gather my belongings and move on to the departure terminals and if I create a scene, he would arrest me.
