I am already on the consistency bandwagon, gimme the same exerience at all checkpoints and I would be monumentally pleased.

BTW and slightly OT, I wonder why some TSOs want bargaining rights regarding uniforms? Do the women want the right to wear skirts? Do they want hats? Custom cellphone holders? Do they want to redesign uniforms so taxpayers have to pay for new ones? What is different about their uniforms (and the input they have about them) and the pilots, or McDonald's employees or the military and their uniforms?
I am interested to see what will come out of union negotiations, the list of things that were excluded was pretty large - pay, security regulations, and a whole bundle of other things that unions normally have some input on. I am interested to see what sorts of changes will come down and what sort of bargaining will be done. I personally am not a union kind of guy in general, but if they can foster some positive changes in the organization, I might be able to give them a vote to the good.

I have no idea on why they want uni control. It truly makes no sense unless it is something about the way they are made or something of that nature. I have not heard of an inordinate amount of complaints about the unis and the most common complaint I have heard was "why aren't they made in the USA?".
