Oh, well, so much for good sanitation.
This was after the TDC refused my Never Before Seen Nexus, no supervisor could be found, and I was asked at least five times "This is the last time I am going to ask you this, will you show me a driver's license?" To which I replied every time "The Nexus is an accepted form of ID according to your regulations." He finally went to the book, found it in about 3 minutes, and then apologized. He said that he had never seen a Nexus and that they needed to get the word out. I told him he is the third one I have had to train at this airport.
Eventually everyone will know if I keep this up. Can I bill the TSA a training fee?
How about a complaint form? (Yeah, like that will do any good)

This is why we need people on the land side videotaping the checkpoints. That way when TSA pulls excuse number six out of it's collective rectum why there is no recording of the incident we can say "no problem, we have our own, see you in court, respondent. Oh, by the way, we're putting it up on YouTube and calling the press."
