Representative Duncan Hunter issued a formal complaint against the TSA. Here’s how he described the incident:

“A TSA officer asked the Marine to stand and walk to an alternate area, despite the fact that he physically could not stand or walk on his own.

Politicians will spend trillions of dollars bombing the hell out of the Middle East until it’s “free,” but they won’t lift a finger to make our own country free.
