Sorry, your logic fails pretty quickly.



As a TSO the actual terminology concerning the packaging of currency is not within the prevue of the job. Nor would I actually care about it to be honest.

But here is an observation for you, take it or leave it. When I correct someone’s inaccurate representation of a situation or an intentional misstatement about equipment or procedure (or about anything pretty much), the in’juns rally round and sharpen their scalping knives. Even if I am 100% correct in my response. Yet when someone corrects me about something I admittedly know little about I accept the criticism and move on. Can you explain to me and the others who read here why that may be? [sarcasm]Certainly not because anyone around here has an unreasonable prejudice against TSO’s like myself who don’t kowtow to the party line around here, right? Please, tell me that aint so![/sarcasm]
