Terry Bradshaw took issue with the TSA conducting a search on him at an airport.
The Pittsburgh Steelers legend documented his semi-chaotic travel day on Monday morning.

Bradshaw posted a video on Facebook showing himself at Springfield-Branson National Airport in Branson, Missouri.
The 76-year-old appeared to be on his way to another destination as he was going through TSA security checks.
However, Bradshaw was pulled off the security line, and security patted him down and checked his belongings.
“I’m not against being safe but… This is ridiculous,” Bradshaw wrote in the caption.
“TSA approved, had the body pat down, all the luggage checked, unpacked item by item.”
Bradshaw also wrote that he was sent to a “private room for ANOTHER pat down. Come on Springfield how many criminals come through here???? I guess I look like one today!!!”
During the clip, Bradshaw looks at the camera and says, “They’re gonna go through my luggage now, I’m the Unabomber.”
The Fox NFL Sunday star referred to Ted Kaczynski, who was a lone bomber who terrorized the nation for nearly 20 years, planting bombs that killed three people and injured 23 others.
The person who filmed Bradshaw then sarcastically said, “Terry Bradshaw is definitely a terrorist.”
While Bradshaw was clearly frustrated, it seemed that he followed all of the orders.
The video received plenty of traction as 19,000-plus people liked the Facebook post.
Fans revealed their reactions to the clip in the comments.
“Don’t they realize that they’re messing with a national treature? So sorry this happened to you, Terry,” one wrote.
“Well, you were a Steeler (stealer), so maybe that confused them,” another commented.
“It’s honestly a Bunch of harassment! BS,” a third said.

Some fans defended TSA’s decision, and one of those fans got a reply from Terry.
“Terry, you are no more special than other travelers. TSA is just doing their job to keep travelers safe. People that are educated also commit crimes,” a fan said.
“I was not against the screening. It was the excessive pat down followed by a second pat down and then unpacking my bags item by item….” Bradshaw responded.
“I travel every week to multiple cities and no other TSA group has ever been like this.”
