Upon arrival, Thursday, Oct, 13th, they tried forcing us to use only their taxi service even after a family member from Ocala had arranged pickup. The lady with security told us we would have to go off the property to ride with our arranged driver. It was an awful experience. We did pay the monopolized taxi service $20 to take us one mile off the property in order to meet our arranged driver. The monopoly they have running in that airport is certainly not "Free Trade" America claims to have, and if an airport is getting any federal funds, they are not supposed to be able to close taxi services or dictate whom customers use for departing the airport.

If that wasn't terrible enough going through late Thursday night with 2 children under 10, going back through on Sunday was not much better.
I assume being a blonde from Tennessee with an 8 year old gives off a bad vibe and I was picked to be patted down, then my luggage, which had passed through the Chattanooga airport the Thursday prior, was put on high alert and looked through. When the complete idiot went through my bag and asked if I had any weapons in the bag, which I stated not that I was aware, she pulled out my bottle of Suave Dry Shampoo and looked at me as though I had lied to her because Suave Dry Shampoo must be considered a weapon. Then she took my jar of coconut oil cream and rolled her eyes asking if I just didn't read what was allowed and not allowed. At that point I started laughing because no one could be that stupid to think a half used jar of coconut oil cream was hazard material.. Well apparently what Chattanooga felt was safe, Sanford did not and I had to surrender my property.
Of all the airports I've been through; Hawaii, LAX, BNA, New York, etc, Sanford was the worst experience and I will not be departing or arriving at that location ever again.
