Or they aren't really going to do anything except eventually post something about 20+ layers of security, never any threat, probably a hoax because they reviewed footage and established that TSA did nothing wrong.

Almost forgot: and flag this guy for extra special attention next time he flies.

This made me chuckle:


Do they need to re-train employees to understand that they are supposed to comply with SOP at all times?

How do you 'train' for that? Have them chant 500 times "I promise I will follow SOP"?

Perhaps more employees would comply with SOP if they put down their cellphones, ended personal conversations conducted while they are supposed to be focused on the task at hand.

Perhaps more employees would comply with SOP if their LTSOs, STSOs and suits put down their cellphones, stopped the idle chit-chat, and paid attention to what is going on at the checkpoint.
