The TSA management has once again demonstrated its unbelieveable stupidity. This morning, at the Diamond lane, they had a TDCclerk who was so slow at checking boarding passes that at one point, there was nobody at the tables putting their carry on items in the bin, yet there were at least 15-20 people waiting in line.

When I got up to her, I found out why she was taking so long - she was one of the folksy "so where are you going" today clerks. She saw my official passport, and said "wow, an official passport. Where are they sending you today?" Since she had my boarding pass in hand, I said nothing. She finally waved me on.

Once I got to the table, I noticed that another clerk finally came over to help clear the backlog.

I'm beginning to believe that TSA must administer an intelligence test to prospective employees, and if they score too high, it's grounds for not hiring.
