I did that once at a birthday party. 21 weeks pregnant and someone asked when I was due. The look of horror was priceless. I had a good laugh and so did she. Her friends were in the toilets (ladies public bathroom) just about, or maybe did, wet themselves from laughing at the overheard conversation.

You greatly overestimate the competency of TSA rent-a-cops.

Though, the mentioned suggestion would absolutely fail considering most airports do x-rays now. Also, if you're pregnant, kinda want to disclose that due to the whole x-ray thing.

That's not how this works. She could also have been fat and not pregnant. She would obviously not be required to prove that in that circumstance.

The rules are clear, she was compliant, the airline agent wasn't.

Yes, its the shitty asshole liar, not the fact our entire system of recompense and accountability is fucking unhinged. I'm so glad we agree.

And keeping that system instead of any better social fprm, well, sometimes you gotta deprive innocent usually marginalized people of their autonomy; it's just a 'cost'. Cant beat a puppy to death without havin a few orgasms, amirite?

“THEY LET ME THROUGH IT’S THEIR FAULT I’M GONNA SUE YOU” and the person loses their job

That's not liability on the gate agent, its liability on the airline (which needs processes for adjudicating when to ask and to document the answer).

This is something that's supposed to happen during the ticket sale process, not the moment-before-you-get-on-the-plane.

It is literally not this agent's job to probe. And if she's worried about liability, harassing a woman who doesn't qualify for her investigation is a bigger liability concern, particularly if she delays the flight or tries to boot the passenger.

You can't sue someone because you made a dumb choice and lied.

which is why the policy is dumb. it should be a document proving you're under 28w OR a doctor's note that says you're fine to fly.

Sounds like it isn't hypothetical, pregnant liars ruining things for decent people, but the real acual people who implemented the shitty, unclear policy that requires TSA agents to just harass all visibly pregnant women.

Like, shit. Just add "if you're under 28 weeks you need documentation to prove that" to the policy, so the whole thing can't be foiled by an incredibly easy lie.
