My favorite section of the interview:

QT: You know, most of us can't stand the TSA. I once boarded a flight to Costa Rica on United and the crew member was shouting to the TSA official "you are nobody, you have no authority." I thought that was strange. Can you tell us; is this a common feeling amongst flight attendants about the TSA?

FA: Many flight attendants feel that the TSA is a sham the government uses to create a sense of security, trying to show that they are doing something about something, but things are unavoidable. Just look at what happened on Christmas! If it is going to happen, it is going to happen. The TSA is a pain in the butt and they are idiots, mostly uneducated, and rude. They really have no use other than to delay all of our lives.


^ Glad to see some solidarity from a FA. Hope there are many other airline employees who feel the same way.
