How many DHS/TSA staff are needed to replace a light bulb?
Answer: Forty (40)
Four (4) to babble apologies that there will be a delay due to technical maintenance issues;
Twelve (12) to stand around and supervise;
One (1) to get the ladder;
One (1) to get the light bulb;
One (1) to hold the ladder;
One (1) to climb the ladder, remove the old light bulb and insert the new bulb;
One (1) to take the old light bulb to the trash bin;
One (1) to take the light bulb just replaced to the trash because the new one didn't work;
One (1) to go run for a new replacement light bulb;
Ten (10) supervisor TSO's to stand around scratching their head because the second new light bulb won't work and light up;
Five (5) TSO management to form a committee to investigate the light bulb outage;
One (1) TSA Commander to run to Kippie and report the delay problem;
One big JERK (1) DHS Exec named
Kippie to deny everything.
That's 40 !!!
But it takes ONLY
One (1)-mad-as-hell First Class pissed-off passenger, delayed now for an hour and a half in line while this monkey-business is going on, to get out of line, walk over to the light switch and TURN IT ON ....
to fix things CORRECTLY the FIRST time around...
