TSA Screening Passenger AFTER Flight?!

While we all have our thoughts on the TSA, here's something I haven't seen before. There's a video going around the internet of a 22 year old that flew from Minneapolis to Denver on Spirit Airlines, and upon landing was met by the TSA... because they wanted to do more screening on him. Check out the video:


Apparently he used to be on the "no fly" list, but was then downgraded to a list where he would just receive additional screening (with "SSSS" on his boarding pass). However, apparently the TSA failed to complete that screening in Minneapolis, and only realized that halfway through his flight.


So when he landed in Denver, the TSA boarded the plane to have him deplane before everyone else, and then they requested to do additional screening on him... even though he already flew and was done with his travels for the day!
