TSA "Drill" at AUS this AM

The TSA is on the ball this morning. As if slow checkpoints weren't enough (lines hundreds of yards long), at one point they completely obstructed the terminal, prohibiting movement between the checkpoint and about a third of the gates beyond it, holding a "drill" to block traffic as if there was a suspicious object found.

No REAL report of a suspicious object. Just a drill. And the minions we're visibly enjoying holding up their hands and shouting "STOP!" at oncoming passengers.

When asked how long they'd be prohibited, no answer was given... and people were starting to get visibly upset as many had flights leaving relatively soon.

Then, out of nowhere, the drill was over. Just like that.

Thank god for the TSA pretending to keep us safe!
