I rarely (really, never) take the side of the TSA but here's a case of bad reporting. TSA screeners are not law enforcement officers and aren't licensed to carry weapons so there's no way they tasered anyone. TSA have no more authority than a mall security guard. But you do feel intimidated by them, right? That fake police badge makes them feel really big.

Daily Horoscope for May 21

Capricorn

If you're feeling lonely and vulnerable, it seems as though someone is out to get you. Perhaps you're separated from the people you love and you don't like it. Try not to mope for too long, because there are important things that need your attention. Speaking of which, if you need to do something that you're dreading, you'll feel much better if you can get it out of the way quickly. If you leave it, the very thought of it will drain your energy.
