NFL Hall Of Famer Handcuffed, Removed From Airplane

Not even a Pro Football Hall of Famer is immune to the probing of the TSA. FOX Sports' Terry Bradshaw learned that the hard way.

Prior to a flight out of the Springfield-Branson National Airport in Missouri, was recorded being screened by the TSA and taken to a private room for a pat down twice. 

At one point during the video, Bradshaw turned to the camera and joked, “They’re gonna go through my luggage now, I’m the Unabomber.” The person behind the camera jokingly replied, “Terry Bradshaw is definitely a terrorist.”

After the ordeal - which Bradshaw appeared to be completely compliant for - he took to social media and complained about it. He joked that the Springfield airport must have a ton of criminals coming through it if he looks like one.

“I'm not against being safe but…This is ridiculous!!” Bradshaw wrote. “TSA approved, had the body pat down, all the luggage checked, unpacked item by item. Now going into private room for ANOTHER pat down. Come on Springfield how many criminals come through here???? I guess I look like one today!!!”

While Bradshaw may have found the whole ordeal frustrating, fans on social media found it pretty funny:

"Detected too many Super Bowl rings lol," one user joked.

"Maybe the agent was a Cowboys fan?" another mused.

"Invest in TSA pre check, Terry. It's worth it and you can afford it," a third said.

"TSA is doing too much with Terry Bradshaw today. Maybe they are Cowboys fans."

"TB should fly private."

This isn't the first time that Bradshaw has been involved in airport drama. Back in April he was credited with helping an airplane open up a jammed door when it landed at Pittsburgh International Airport. 

But Bradshaw later refuted that story.

"Just to set the record straight… I did nothing to open the door on the plane! The maintenance crew had it open in 15 minutes,” Bradshaw on social media after that story broke.

"The pilot announced and you could kind of hear he was chuckling as he said it, but he said ‘thanks to the strength of one of our passengers, we were finally able to get the door open’ and I think we all knew he was alluding to Mr. Bradshaw,” traveler Selah Gamble explained after the incident.
