Terry Bradshaw was a winner on the field, securing four Super Bowl titles as a quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 1970s. These days, he’s best known as a commentator on Fox NFL Sunday. It’s an impressive resume, but even the rich and famous aren’t immune to unpleasant encounters with TSA<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Based on a video<\/a> Bradshaw shared on his official Facebook page, it appears the 76-year-old had the recent misfortune of being selected for additional screening at the TSA checkpoint<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the video, Bradshaw is seen standing in his socks, looking frustrated, as he is told to grab his shoes and follow a TSA officer standing off-camera. Next, Bradshaw points and says, “My luggage is over here,” before following TSA officials out of sight.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The encounter happened at Springfield-Branson National Airport in Missouri. Along with his post, Bradshaw included the words:<\/p>\n

“I’m not against being safe but\u2026This is ridiculous!! TSA approved, had the body pat down, all the luggage checked, unpacked item by item. Now going into private room for\u2026”<\/p>\n

Always be prepared for extra screenings<\/p>\n

It’s currently unknown whether Bradshaw was selected at random or if something triggered the additional security check. Still, it serves as a good reminder to always arrive at the airport early, just in case. You never know when those extra minutes will be necessary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Terry Bradshaw was a winner on the field, securing four Super Bowl titles as a quarterback for the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":825961,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[559],"tags":[64,63,286904,593,1241,399011,85,399012,36669,248709],"class_list":["post-825960","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-impressive-resume","tag-nfl","tag-pittsburgh-steelers","tag-security-checkpoint","tag-sports","tag-super-bowl-titles","tag-terry-bradshaw","tag-tsa"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/825960","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=825960"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/825960\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/825961"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=825960"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=825960"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=825960"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
