Not one bit. I am just as friendly to them as they have always been to me. Each “relationship” last on the average about 15 seconds. That also has not changed.



Its not the TSO’s who are telling you this, it is the nationally recognized experts in the field that are. Yet folks here refuse to believe them because of some half-baked agenda. People are going to believe what they wish to believe, regardless of the facts.



Well said. ^



An interesting point. ^



Worthy? No. But that person, by wearing the uniform and performing their assigned duties has shown a willingness to put their own personal life on the line for the citizens of this nation, and do so in a very public manner. Before entering the military they are given background checks, much is known about them, and then they are given positions of trust and usually prove that that trust is well placed. But even the military misses things, as Major Hasan has shown us, so we screen active duty military even in uniform. Maybe not to the extent that we do the standard passenger, but then again by their service they are proving that they can be trusted.



He and I are two of the dissenting voices in this forum and we are ignored or marginalized constantly. Could not the same thing be said for those who post here and are of the same mind as yourself?
