Are you serious? There are caves in Afghanistan with mock TSA checkpoints, in which the entire TSA screening experience is replicated by Al-Qaeda terrorists? Is there a Al-Qaeda training programme for operatives playing the role of a TSO? What does the curriculum look like? I'm thinking, module 1, "How to Talk Like a TSO" -- "Do you want to fly today?"; "I'm sorry, but that is SSI"; "Sir, you will have to provide an ID if you want a complaint form". Module 2: "Your TSO Uniform". Module 3, "Spontaneous Inspection Rule Generation and You". This must be like the best job in Al-Qaeda. Certainly beats some of their other current vacancies, like "Suicide Bomber who ignores airport and just kills a bunch of people somewhere else with the same effect."
