Former TSA Agent Issues Warning About Social Media

As we approach the summer travel season on the calendar, one former TSA agent has a pretty important warning that all travelers should pay attention to.

A former TSA agent by the name of Harmony now has a new career as a travel creator, posting various pieces of travel advice online on social media under the name travelwiththeharmony.

In a recent video, Harmony shared a recent clip that he came across on social media showing a woman who made a crucial mistake before her trip.

The woman, who had never flown on a plane before, posted a picture of her boarding pass on her "close friends" list on Instagram. Someone actually used that information to cancel her flight without her knowing.

"The day comes where this girl has to fly. She goes to the airport and realized somebody has canceled her flight," Harmony said in the video. "Somebody canceled that girl's flight. I don't know why she didn't check her emails, but somebody canceled her flight."

Harmony said that the story should be a warning to all travelers not to post confirmation numbers and sensitive information from their boarding passes on social media.

"Let this be a lesson to those people who post everything. If you're going to post something, make sure you cover your confirmation numbers and all your sensitive information is covered," he said.

He also added an additional warning to the woman as he pointed out that someone who she has on her "close friends" list clearly is not a very good friend if they would do something so cruel.

"And, young lady, if you're watching this video, you need to go and delete everybody from your close friends because, if you posted it in your close friends, somebody in there canceled your flight. Girl, go clean that up," he said.

This is an important warning to everyone as peak travel season approaches.
