Howdy,
TSA folks having a Master Degree

heehee, yep

I'm sure some of them do. But friends, that in no way demonstrates that they are not idiots.
I hate these folks, they make my life miserable. They paw over my stuff, they treat me like a criminal and they truly enjoy lording non-existant power over me.
I better jump or they will throw me out of the airport. Yeah right. I've been made to drop my pants in Birmingham, swear like a sailor in St. Louis and been groped in Chicago (and trust me, there's plenty to grope, I'm not little
These people disgust me. They enjoy the abuse of their power and the havoc they wreck with their lives.
I'm sorry, "Just doing my job" doesn't cut it. They may weed out a few from the bottom of Argentbright - but with their expanded authority - they are far, far worse.
Just my two cents.
Keep the faith,
Pakse
