I did two additional things:
1. I ran the briefing in slide show mode. Slide 14 has a bunch of fly-ins. It shows that drugs and money can be detected by: trace portals, pat-downs, and pornoscanners. So, the puffers really WERE used to find drugs! (Anybody surprised?)
2. I pulled up the briefing in "notes pages" thinking I might find some speaker notes of interest. There was nothing there, except for a couple of slides:
Slide 5 -- I'll bet we never knew that the TSA created this crap in order to make us "calm" when being groped and irradiated:
The Diamond Self Select concept was created with the intent to calm down the security checkpoint environment. Separating expert passengers from the casual passengers and families results in a less stressful and more efficient process, thus creating the desired calm environment. Additionally, by placing Passenger Engagement TSOs in the front of the queue, passengers not only receive face-to-face guidance from a TSA representative on choosing the appropriate lane but also an education on divesting; thus increasing efficiencies in the screening experience.
Slide 18: The speaker was supposed to mention SPOTNiks as a key element of "layered security."
I wonder why there was no mention of the Cancer Boxes?
