Yeah, sorry. Our airport's TSA is full of geeks on a power trip. One wanted to write my name down because I had 1/4 inch of water left in a water bottle I planned on filling from a bubbler down the concourse. He wanted to confiscate it & I told him no. He made me drink not even a gulp of water.

So me (being the obvious threat to national security that I am) questioning the goverment employee's precious AUTHORITAH, that requires him calling my airline & writing my name down & info? I don't effing think so.



I'm not sure if MKE still does this, but when I did security there, the boss used to hide FAA test pieces in her purse. If you were on xray & you flunked that, you got pulled from xray & made to do exit wall all day. zzzz. So maybe they still try & trick them with the FAA pieces in bags & whatnot, or maybe they have a Mystery Shopper come through (an FAA employee) and they are scared of not catching that person.
