Let me add my welcome to FT,

Coachrowsey is correct, I would not put anything past them indeed, TSO's have to be the lowest form of life there is in the TSA, smurfs with tin badges, the majority of whom could probably not get a job anywhere outside of McDonalds or Burger King, etc, except of course with the TSA.

A close second is management who give us the window dressing, hassle filled, circus that we have today and that the smurfs use to abuse the flying public.

As you explore FT, esp Travel safety/security you will find there are some TSO's who post infrequently, that seem to know what they are talking about and really try to do a good job, THEN of course we have TSORon on the opposite end of all this, but you should discover Ronnie for yourself, the entertainment value of his posts are fantastic and will either have you rolling in the aisles laughing your a** off or shaking your head in disbelief that even by TSA's standards they would employ something like this, thats if Ronnie is even employed with them.

See you on the forum
