TSA targets Gulf filmmakers at check-point (VIDEO), Project Gulf Impact, December 31st, 2010:
After working in Los Angeles where they are residents, in trying to board a plane to return to the Gulf region, the three young human rights defenders were pre-selected for harassment and intimidation at the check-point.
“It started the minute we got to the airport,” Project Gulf Impact film director, Matt Smith said in a telephone conversation Thursday from Orange Beach, Alabama.
When Smith and his crew members, Gavin Garrison and Heather Rally arrived at the nearly empty Ontario Airport on Tuesday evening, heading back to document ongoing atrocities along the Gulf Coast, they were soon alerted they were in for a rough ride – not on the plane but instead, in the terminal with TSA.
I am truly amazed at how well you have laid out this information. It’s easy to comprehend and read as well as informative. It’s so well-worded that I can’t dispute the valid points you make.
