If you are, then I would like to represent that person in a action against the TSA.
If not, then that is evidence of a "requirement" that has no teeth, which doesn't make it much of a requirement now does it.
Patience is a virtue.
1.Please show me what “might” be an unrelated threat to the safety of air travel and I’ll show you two ways it can be done.
2. Hmm, punish someone for being wrong about a safety concern. Yeah, that’s a great idea.
3. I have extensive training in identifying illicit substances. I cant say the same for my fellow TSO’s, but they can bring concerns to those that DO have the training, which is what our management directive requires. Just like we cant arrest someone who breaches security, but we can point that person out to the persons who can.
And pretty much that’s going to be the last post I have along this subject line in this forum. Again, if you wish to continue this discussion I suggest that you transfer it to the other forum.
