I do apologize Lex, I was misinterpreting, it has been a long 24 hours...no sleep, all work. There is nothing we CAN do to stop a determined terrorist. That's been proven many times over. All we can do is devise a better more efficient security system and do the best job we can with highly trained professionals doing the job. Whether it is government or private, that's all we can ask for. I work at GSO, and honestly I will say there are a few screeners that have no respect for anyone and do have that chip on their shoulders, but we are weeding them out. If you ever get a chance to fly through there, stop by and chat with the screeners. I swear that anytime I'm out in public after work and still have my uniform on, I get alot of compliments on how professional and courteous we are just because we answered a simple question. I try to screen each passenger in the same manner, explain everything I'm doing, answer any questions, be polite (unless 4 letter words get involved) and do the job quickly. It is like a once a week deal, sometimes a little more, when I actually get a real irate passenger. Mainly it's because they woke up late and got to the airport like 30 minutes before their flight and there is a security line that they can't cut into, so by the time they reach the xray they aren't too happy, and then they set off the walk through and then the fun begins. Again I do apologize for the misinterpretation.
