There’s been a bunch of incidents in the news lately and many of them worthy of serious note. My being busy with other more pressing items, my photo gallery needs to get moved post haste, I haven’t had the time to write up everything I would.
So I want to at least clear out a few browser tabs since these are becoming “old news”.
So they’re not adequately searching bags but I’m sure that agent made sure to feel up Tiffany’s boobs, in a random pat down I’m sure.
I am surprised that the laptops didn’t go 10 for 10 on being stolen. However this is worthy of note:
Imagine that, a culture of stealing. What that test did show is many are wary of “easy prey”. When something seems way to easy, odds are it’s a trap. One agent failed that test.
Lastly we have an incident out of my backyard:
Given their treatment of someone with an insulin pump, do we want to guess who’s story is worth believing and who’s probably telling the fib?
The TSA is merely a job program for idiots and the lazy so the training is remedial at best so most don’t even know the actual policies. Show up with a copy of the policies in hand and they don’t care. How bad can it be? A GBR one of the attendees relayed a story about a TSA agent insisting that he hand over the key to his firearm case and allow him to inspect it without the owner being present. That’s right, the agent wanted the owner to hand over the key that is NOT supposed to leave his possession because that case is NOT to be opened without him being present. Ultimately for fear of not being allowed on the plane he handed over the key. See how this works, policies don’t matter at the national level, each local can do as the please because they put the passenger between a rock and hard place.
This is what happens when you give someone with less intelligence than a monkey the power to tell others what to do.
