Yeah, anyone with a vest and a name badge can get that power trip sometime, but they they ARE THERE for our safety and for that I am grateful. But, one time i was coming out of TYS (Knoxville) and I was told to go to the troft. (sp?) TSA told me to open my palms... guy swabed them with something and left. So I left... started to put my belt and shoes on... he came RUNNING over and told me that he DIDNT tell me to leave.... i told him YOU didn't tell me to stay! Mercy... After all... i'm "just a silver"... what do I know?
