Unless we take corrective action against the TSA and the many stupid rules that remain, the indignities/insanity could very well spill over to the train. And to your car. And to your business. And maybe even to your home.</font>
What stupid rules are there? Honestly. Please enlighten me. The dumbest rule of asking people about their bags at check-in was tossed out. Nothing is overnight. Everyone is a critic and without offering up suggestions or saying what's wrong, they just generally grip because it's the government and how possibly can they offer us a good service. Please, be for real. They are our neighbors, family, and friends. These are the same people we see at the mall, in school, at the grocery store, at our children’s little league games. They only get their checks from a different place we get ours. None of that means they are stupid or incompetent. In fact, their pay scale, while low to many frequent flyers is quite high in a lot of the localities we have them working in. And it’s MUCH higher than it was before when private security managed screening. We will have screeners at over 400 airports and a vast majority of those are OUT of major metro areas. Meaning that their pay is fairly well off for the areas they live in.
