I'm pretty confident which 50% of the TSA screeners TSScreenerRon falls into. But he is doing a better job than I can proving why TSA screeners should be treated in the same manner that the TSA treats people.
I'm going to keep my fingers crossed that I'll have the chance to run into him one day at a checkpoint or even better on the General Aviation side of the FAR part 139 aircraft operating area.
