Folks,
We've edited or deleted a number of posts and reopened the thread.
Please keep your remarks to the topic at hand rather than personalizing the discussion with non-contributive, snarky or disruptive commentary. As someone posted upthread this is about TSA agents attempting to lighten the misery of screening just a little bit, not your fellow FTers.
Also per FT's published
community rules (Help menu >> Rules), altering or deliberately misquoting others,
aka "FIFY" posts, is never acceptable.
For convenience here are the applicable sections of the rules:
12.2 Avoid Getting Personal
If you have a difference of opinion with another member, challenge the idea — NOT the person. Getting personal with another member is not allowed. Personal attacks, insults, baiting and flaming will not be tolerated.
FlyerTalk is a diverse, multi-cultural community. Expressions of prejudice or discrimination in any form are not permitted (such as those concerning race, nationality, religious belief, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, etc).
If another member gets personal with you, do not retaliate. Retaliation may well subject you to the same discipline. Instead, please use the 'Alert a moderator to this thread' button in the lower-left-hand-corner of each post, send a note explaining your concern to the moderator team, and leave it to them to handle.
15. Deceptive, Dishonest, Illegal or Fraudulent Posting
Posts that misquote or mischaracterize other posts or members, or contain deceptive, dishonest or knowingly inaccurate information are not allowed.
Thanks for your consideration.
