Please keep in mind that you are "talking" to frequent flyers here. Most of them with millions of miles flown and with many more interactions with TSO than what you get. The collective experience with TSA paints a pretty grim picture of what goes on at the checkpoints.

Oh, please spare me the whine. BTW, would you like some cheese to go with it?

And who would that be? Not a TSO, that's fer sure. Unless you count back injuries from lifting suitcases. Several TSO posting here have admitted they are in their jobs just for the government benefits, not for some lofty anti-terrorism goals.

I get the feeling its no longer about improving the situation, but about the complaining. Some of you just don’t realize that, your having to much fun complaining.
If there was any accountability within TSA and if the complaints were handled in an appropriate manner, maybe there wouldn't be so much complaining still after 7 years of TSA.
