The TSA is funding the rollout of exit pods at major airport terminals across the country that temporarily detain passengers before they are allowed to leave, another example critics say of how the federal agency’s policies treat travelers as prisoners.
Travelers are forced to be bottlenecked through the pods as they leave the airport terminal. A robotic voice gives instructions to wait inside the pod until a green light is shown and the door opens.
The pods have already been installed at Syracuse International Airport as part of a $60 million dollar renovation and are likely to make their way into other major airports soon. Once travelers exit the pods, they are unable to re-enter the terminal.
Some of the passengers exiting through the pods at Syracuse thought the machines were performing x-ray body scans, according to CNY Central.
“It was odd, I was like – where did they come up with this?” asked Patricia Goodrich.
“We need to be vigilant and maintain high security protocol at all times. These portals were designed and approved by TSA which is important,” said Syracuse Airport Commissioner Christina Callahan.
The justification for installing the pods is that they replace police or security guards who would normally stand at the exit, therefore saving money, something which the TSA isn’t normally concerned about given how it is now selling abandoned naked body scanners to prisons for 10 per cent of their value.
According to Karen De Coster, the pods are a way “to remind you that you are a captive” and are “meant to make you feel like a prisoner who cannot leave.”
The prison inmate feel of the devices compliments numerous other TSA policies which critics have charged serve little other purpose than making travelers feel like they are under constant suspicion.
Last week, a Government Accountability Office investigation revealed that the TSA’s $1 billion dollar “chat down” program has been a complete failure in that it is “no better than chance” at identifying genuine security threats.
While threatening to arrest passengers who make jokes about airport security, the federal agency has also instituted a ludicrous “freeze” policy whereby travelers are ordered to stand in place like statues while TSA agents resolve some unexplained security threat.
Another policy that has provoked questions is the TSA’s random testing of passengers’ drinks for explosives after they have already passed through security and purchased beverages inside the secure area of the airport.

The airlines must be getting something out of this, else why would they still allow their customers to be heckled and treated this way without voicing their concern or disdain? In the end, the airlines are going to suffer for it,,,,, unless that’s the purpose – state run air travel anyone? Amtrak has been such a success, how about tripling down on the same concept with the airlines? Just my humble thoughts.
I haven’t flown since any of this crap started I’m even less inclined now.
I was born to love aircraft. I traveled a lot in them, been to other countries in them. Eventually joined the USAF, and I worked on them. I’m with you. I don’t even know what an aircraft terminal is anymore. Last time I flew with my M1A1, I walked in, declared it, checked it in (an unlocked case), and flew. It’s starting to look like I will never fly again. And that also goes to those who need to be “picked up” – tough love – lay in the gutter wake up smelling like sewage.
I think that we all knew that it was only a short time before we saw this crap . After all they have padded pods just like this in some grade schools to detane little kids that are being so called unruly
To all those out there who have nothing better to do than think about what false flag attacks they’ll dream up next, here’s another one: these “pods” are installed at all airports, bus terminals, subways, trains, etc., and then a member of the criminal psychopathic elites dreams up an mini-EMP attack at one of the above terminals while 50 or more people, about half of them old folks, pregnant women, parents with children–and throw in some seeing-eye-dogs just for fun–the effect of which is to trap these folks for maybe days, killing them all–and then blame it on “Muslim terrorists”…
“This portals were designed and approved by TSA which is important”. The one lady says.
BAHAHAAHAHAHAAHA!!! OMG! How can she even say that with a straight face is beyond me.
So this is what happens after a false flag on TSA in LAX. We put screeners for those entering and leaving the airport.
WOW! Henry couldn’t have predicted it more plainly on his show after it happened. That and giving TSA guns.
Hey Henry, do you have a direct line with the elitists, too? lol j/k.
Just don’t be calling yourself a prophet like AJ does. lol
Absolutely. Right from my eyes to their redundant modus operandi. It has become like watching a week long checker tournament at the old folks home. 🙂
What if there is a fire in the terminal do the doors stay open or do you have to wait your turn 6-10 at a time as you bbq on the terminal side? I think people should start traveling with pry bars, 5lb sledges and heavy leather gloves just in case. Oh wait those are illegal now…..
