With the (apparent) demise of SSSS, they're obviously overstaffed and desperate for some way to look busy. (Of course, they were overstaffed and trying to look busy before...)

I don't want to talk to TSA, but if they start it, has anybody tried reversing-spotting the TSA? "I'm going to BWI, thanks, but how about you? Where did you drive from this morning? How long have you lived there? What are you doing this evening? When was the last time you took a vacation? Do you like working for the TSA? Why?" and so on. I hear it works on tele-marketers.
