kbordson 8 #4 March 28, 2008 I have no respect for TSA authority. I do not believe that they make anything "safer." Nor do I believe that the "agents" truly understand their jobs. (my stepson was a TSA agent for about half a year.... by listening him speak of his day at work, I developed the impression that a lot of them are foolish ignorant kids on a power trip.)

I gotta agree with Karen & John on this one... When I was at O'Hare back in November I paid particular attention to the TSA 'agents' for some odd reason - most ofv them weren't older than 18 years old, it was at that point I lost all respect for that agency.Dialogue/commentary between Divot, Twardo & myself - "from your first Oshkosh when the three of us were riding to or from one of Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Unstable 9 #6 March 28, 2008 I would have more respect for the TSA if they just had a little higher standards in their hiring procedures. I've seen some real scumbuckets with little red vests at KCI. i agree, power hungry. Have you seen the requirements to be a postal Worker? Pretty high actually. No stoopid mailmen out there.

iluvtofly 0 #9 March 28, 2008 My mom had a total knee replacement done a few years ago. She always sets off the metal detector. She has a card that has the actual x-ray of her knee on it but they still give her problems every time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Unstable 9 #10 March 28, 2008 I wonder why in all seriousness, they couldn't have just pulled her aside, had a mature Female TSA inspector pull her aside privately and verify her claims, and get on with her flight. =========Shaun ========== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amazon 7 #22 March 28, 2008 So far I have been farily lucky in all my travels.... last trip was a breeze thru the scanners with my rig... BUT I carry all the documentation they have about carrying parachutes on board aircraft. I only ran across one dickweed here in Seattle who was giving some older woman a hard time.... several of us were laughing at him and his comments.... about how much he was protecting us. Most of the time.. I just smile at them and let them do their jobs....no matter how worthless they are.... in this day and age challenging them or the airline people can do no good for your trip what so ever.... best to avoid their attention and let the bullies work on someone else.
