the guy threatened me & my sis that he would DEPORT US if we lied to him (mind you, we were 15-ish atm), and sent us to those back rooms so the police could question us (which they barely did bc no one understood why we were even there for starters)
We weren’t even going to the US, it was a CONNECTION FLIGHT 😐

they were training the british tsa that day and bc i got to the airport so early, pulled me aside for the training line but in doing so one tsa agent had directed me to the training line and the other to his own line and the two literally ARGUED about where i was supposed to go 😭
then in the training line, i set something off so they had to swab my hands and pat me down. and as if that wasn’t enough, they had someone in training not very supervised search my bag. she emptied ALL the pockets in my backpack, thoroughly swabbing inside each of them. people were staring!!! and when she turned to her supervisor asking if that was good he told her it was “more than enough”
then i had to face the chaos of the terminal’s waiting area which has a weird layout and not enough seats. i was dealing w a recent painful knee injury, but they only told you your gate 15-20 minutes ahead and i was worried i’d miss my flight so i had to go to my airline’s help desk and ask about it. it turns out they already know all the gates anyways they just don’t tell people ??? then on the flight there was a baby who scream-cried the entire time whose mom did little to help them. which is not heathrow’s fault but was the cherry on top

They have a contract with ICE to deport people so fuck them forever.
Long story short I was travelling alone with a toddler and infant, flight was delayed 5 hours, got in at 4am, wouldn't let me check my bags on the way back, ended up having to spend $1,000 buying a new return flight, and all they offered me was a $50 voucher.

First time flying alone at 18 years old. I had just been dropped off and was dozing off in the TSA line. I was wearing jorts and I had forgotten a bobby pin in the pocket. Cut to me getting a genital patdown in front of everyone in the entire airport. Felt like that John Mulaney bit where he just leans over for a colonoscopy because he's trying to get prescription xanax

Absolute banger. I always end up circling back to them, and it’s the best thing EVER.
