“At Phoenix, Arizona’s airport, WITHIN the ‘secured’ area of the gates, I suddenly found myself in a bunch of travelers who were being sharply told to ‘STAY RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE! DON’T MOVE!’. A TSA employee was pointing his blue-gloved hand at anyone who moved a muscle (including airport workers) and barking these orders. Beyond him were two other agents doing the same thing to everyone in a 90-degree radius. The tension was rather palpable, as you might imagine. No explanation was given, no other words were spoken. No one moved a muscle. Parents grabbed their children. Anyone who fidgeted or made a step forward got yelled at.”
