Mr. James Bartosik, an explosives specialist agent representing the TSA came over to harass an individual filming the TSA checkpoint at Chicago O’hare international airport.

The citizen journalist might have been conducting a 1st amendment audit or maybe he was just recording the checkpoint. The video appears to go without incident until another TSA agent (unidentified) approaches the citizen to inquire about his recording. Soon thereafter the unidentified TSA agent calls for reinforcements.

James Bartosik comes over in his official capacity to deal with the situation. After the civilian, identified by his Youtube channel as Freedom Falcon, refused to answer questions, agent James Bartosik began treating the citizen with arrogance and disdain.

At one point, the poorly shaven and disheveled Bartosik signals to his partner that Freedom Falcon is “crazy” by using his finger to perform the gesture used to indicate that someone is crazy.

Anytime Freedom Falcon asked Mr. Bartosik a question, the TSA agent proceeded to act like a petulant child repeating every question, much like a toddler does in a condescending tone.

This is why people hate the TSA, because of assholes like this agent, pretending to “have a conversation” while in fact all he was doing was constantly being condescending and belittling towards the law-abiding individual.

At around the 19 and 1/2 minute mark, it is clear that agent Bartosik assaults Freedom Falcon by getting in his personal space, then trying to knock the camera away from his hand. He immediately denies this and claims that Freedom Falcon touched him first continuing his childish behavior.

A few moments later Mr. Bartosik yanks the camera phone away from the civilian and claims he needs to x-ray the device and continues demanding his name.

He begins talking to the police officer that showed up around the same time and claims that Freedom Falcon has mental problems.

The police officer on the scene continues with the harassment and belittling of the individual as he is forced to move along to his gate.

The next scene shows Freedom Falcon explaining what had just happened as he seems to walk towards his gate for departure.

He also describes what happened during the moments when the camera had been turned off after it was forcibly removed by Mr. Bartosik.
