	AA	2	2013-03-26	MMW. Opt-out went fine as usual for me...not sure why others seem to have a bad experience.
	DL	Terminal 2	2013-03-19	Sending everyone through AIT, basically no exceptions.	1000a
	WN	1	2013-02-07	Hate RDU. Funny how you wear same clothes, same everything and this is the only airport that I get patted down. Happened 3 times at RDU. Be sure you don't ask to go to private room. Want everyone to see the patdown.	6a
	Int'l	2	2013-01-01		600p	9
	DL	BOTH	2012-11-20	You pitiful smurfs sexually assaulted me this time of year in 2010. I will NEVER forgive you! They are remodelling T1 and I would expect more sexual assaults to come to innocent americans. I will always hate you and what you have done to RDU.
	AA	2	2012-11-05	Only MMW forced to opt-out which this airport hates	600a
	WN	1	2012-09-25	Always MMW. Unhappy with opt outs. Mostly rude and slow agents. This airport is the worst!		2
	WN	Terminal 1	2012-08-13	WTMD blocked off. MMW was primary for all passengers except for families with small children.	130p
	DL	2	2012-07-11	today marks a day of victory. never again will I submit to the degrading sexual assaults RDU TSA inflicts on a daily basis (they assaulted me two years ago). I am now a licensed pilot and will fly myself now WITHOUT the assaults from them. RDU is always RED unless you get really really lucky- DON'T count on it. Let's all protest by getting our pilot's licenses. It's not that hard if you pick a chief flight instructor.	100p
	DL		2012-06-06	RDU IS RED ALWAYS unless you are what they view as a "family." get your private pilot's license folks. IT'S SAFER THAN YOU'D EVER KNOW! I am the first pilot in my family!!! =) We don't have to put up with this. Their tyranny should open up new opportunities in general aviation. Would you rather be microwaved or enjoy flying again?
	AA	2	2012-06-06	100% directed to NoS forced to opt-out, typical horrible RDU	600a
	DL	Terminal 2	2012-05-21	Typical RDU, everyone thru DNA shredder, opted out	630a	10
		2	2012-05-02	lol stupid smurfs. I was probably one of their most hated customers as I always yelled at the moat dragons lol. I think its so funny I landed on RWY 23L in my own airplane at RDU just thinking about how stupid they are that they would sexually assault 75% of the people in there.
		2	2012-04-16	Polite and fast screeners. But patdown unnecessarily aggressive.
	DL	2	2012-03-01	Probably 2/3rd forced through AIT. Possibility of timing it on the x-ray belt line to sneak through the WTMD.	300p
	AA	2	2012-02-27	Didnt recognize global entry card again. Everyone through mmw. Pat down was quick and perfunctory	930a	2

	DL	2	2011-12-21		600p	5

	DL	2	2011-11-21	sending familier with kids to WTMD, most others to AIT
	AA	Terminal 2	2011-11-01	Forcing all thru MMW. TSA unusually arrogant and rude at RDU.
	DL	2	2011-10-26	How about doing an Occupy Raleigh @ RDU? I REFUSE TO GO ANYWHERE NEAR RDU. This is TSA tyranny at its worst. They are discrimanatory against adults. Unless every single passenger goes thru MMW, it is a bias and a civil liberty issue.
	AA	2	2011-10-25	Typical RDU, TSA gestapo, will not accept trusted traveler ID issued by Homeland Security, simply amazing
	DL		2011-10-06	there are 2 sides to every story. get law enforcement involved, and i'll become the law enforcement...what you've done to innocent travelers in my hometown is DISGUSTING.
