Last week at LGA I was boarding a flight and saw a TSA employee come down to gate A1. Oh, great, a gate frisking show... but no... just an ID "check".

When I get to the guy I show my passport card, with my thumb covering my name (and far enough away that he could not see much detail in the photo). Of course he did not ask for, or get to see, my boarding pass

Don't the TSA (A being for actors) even try to pretend anymore?

In a previous thread I suggested that TSA employees should join the SAG. I realize that was in error; this would have been a more appropriate suggestion.
