WOW! Am I ever impressed. This has to be the largest conglomeration of frequent whiners, that I have seen, gathered in one place.

I have been a screener at the Port Columbus Airport since June of last year, and after reading through your forums, the number of complaints that I have heard increased by at least threefold.

There seems to be a lot of assumption that the current class of screeners has come from a 'welfare to work' program, and that we do not possess the Ivy League education that is a staple in the portfolio of you 'frequent whiners.

Please, do not assume that you know me.

I must apologize for infringing upon some of your basic human rights.
I understand that removing your shoes may cause undue hardship to yourself, and the trauma suffered by all who may be witness to a such tragedy must be unspeakable!
Please forgive me when I ask that you remove your laptop computer from the carrying case. I am only doing as I was instructed.
I understand that some security measures seem trivial. But these measures are not put in place randomly, Some thing or incident has resulted in every step or procedure that you may encounter while negotiating airport security.

We (TSA Screeners) are not all uneducated, Taco Bell layoffs. Some of us have migrated here due to economical needs (you probably are not familiar with that).

Speaking from my perspective, I would have to say that the majority of the folks that I work with are professional, courteous, and will make every attempt to turn an otherwise unpleasant experience into something a little more palatable for passengers.

I know that we have our undesirables, just as your place of business does, and the entire organization seems to be evaluated based on those few individuals.

Please understand that the general consensus of the travelling public, toward the new security measures is positive, but that we like to here from everyone.
