In a viral video, a man intentionally identified himself as a woman at a TSA checkpoint to test what he said was the “couple hundred million dollars” TSA spent on gender-neutral screening technology. TSA spent exponentially less than that.

At the 2:50-minute mark in the more-than-5 minute video, Key told the TSA agents,"You guys spent a couple hundred million dollars on those that identify as binary or transgender, okay, so I’m opting out and I just want to see how my taxpayer money is being spent."

After being patted down and leaving the TSA checkpoint, Key turned the camera on himself and told viewers:"Our government has just spent millions of dollars for those that identify as binary and transgender. And I was trying to find out today what our money was spent on, but I got pat down by a woman. So, why don’t we all start identifying the opposite sex, and make it as uncomfortable for them as they make it uncomfortable for us.

The video was flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. The price tag that Key assigned to the new TSA gender-neutral screening technology misses the mark by a mile.
