(Thank you to those of you that do return the bins to the cart, or at least stack them up and push them to then end of the lane.)
Another thing... Why do people think they can collect their belongings faster than they come out of the machine? By this, I mean standing at the end of the x-ray tunnel and not moving down the rollers to the end where there is most always room. People cop an attitude when the bins start flipping over because we "keep running the machine and are not paying attention" when there is 12 feet of open space for them to slide down to but just choose not to. BTW, I am paying enough attention to the x-ray machine and looking down the line to see if there is space for people to move down, it's not my fault that people are just ignorant to their surroundings and don't move.
And you thought the public was the ones complaining about the TSA. We all have our own complaints too. Yours are just verbalized more I guess...
If your posting this thinking your going to get sympathy you need to look elsewhere because your not going to get it from me and other frequent travelers, who see straight through the circus act and bravo sierra that flows from TSA. You really chose a bad time to post something like this especially since my tolerance for BS, lies and Shenanigans by TSA is non-existent especially after my last trip.
Even common courtesy for TSA has long since be removed due to repeated problems, BS, rules being pulled from posteriors and down right lies and theft. Remember respect is earned, and at this point it would take a very long time to even get back to even; so now TSA now gets a dose of its own medicine/attitude everytime i fly. Nice to me gets you nothing as TSA is still way way in the red. Bark at me or make threats and all bets are off and you better back it up with legally justifiable action(99.9999% it isnt and TSA backs down when they know i wont yield) as its on like donkey kong with no leash, and the cop wannabe uniforms and badges dont bother me as I have several of my own(Fire, EMS, etc).
Inkundernails list is very close to mine as well.
Then i will add this; How lazy are you and your co-workers that its so hard for you to grab the bins that weigh less then a pound and stack them on the cart. If your looking for sympathy look elsewhere I lift hundreds of pounds 50-100 times a day, not including the lift cycles to lift a 72-92KG hydrolic powered stretcher. The low end of the average is 450 lbs, and the most i have ever helped lift was north of 900lbs, and that snapped the frame of a $12K bariatic stretcher. If TSA employees are getting injured lifting this little weight there either in poor shape, and or dont know proper body mechanics and how to lift. Sounds like the perfect reason to thin the herd.
Considering I have had items stolen from me off the x-ray belt, as well as a laptop (and a camera nearly if it wasnt for a quick reaction time) catapulted off the belt. I watch everyone like a hawk, especially TSA employees who are known for sticky fingers amongst other things. With items routinely being catapulted off the belts it seems beyond general incompetence in doing there job (Red team test, and routine news reports of breaches and other failures) lack spacial awareness and attention to detail.
As for taking my time repacking it. Considering the amount of time I have to tear down my backpack because of TSAs chicken little the sky is falling, peddling to the least common stupid denominator because you can train your people right attitude im gonna take my time and make sure its packed right and safely. If you have a problem complain to your bosses and get some of these stupid polices removed. There is the whole sanitation issue, and TSAs lack of proper use of BSI PPE as published by CDC and OSHA guidelines.
Oh yes i know about your co-workers complaining about the people that pay your salaries. If you dont like your job quit and go elsewhere. Also watch what you say as you never know whose listening. Considering my hearing is very good its amazing the number of things i have heard come out of TSA employees mouths that they wouldn't dare say to someone whose paying there salary nor my face. There is one at DFW that will think twice before making comments in the future, and about the people that pay there salaries. The other I think was terminated as I havent seen that one in the time since the incident. This pairs comments were uncalled for, rude, disrespectful and highly unprofessional.
