Simply put, if you have a good suggestion, contact the Federal Government and make it known...

As far as incompetency of those you are paying for... Again I remind you that most of the TSA screeners are retired and current Military and Law Enforcement personnel... Very educated if you ask me!

By the way, you already paid for the private security in your ticket price, and as far as the lines, you stood in those before 9/11... The best thing now is that we are trained and can speak english!!!

And as far as:
1) ["Go get a union"] Believe me we are trying.
2) ["Get additional hours of training"] We completed training and have reccuring training that if we don't pass, we are terminated.
3) ["Become standardized"] We try, but with 50,000 agents it is very hard.
4) ["And in the meanwhile, please don't treat the public as the problem instead of the terrorists"] My question to you is; what or who is a terrorist? Timothy McVeigh, an all american boy, high school graduate, military veteran, and oh yes, a domestic terrorist!
5) ["Kindly remember too that the public you berate is the self-same "public" that went hurtling into those Twin Towers"] Yes we had friends and relatives there too!

Bottom line, treat us nice and with respect when you come thru the Federal checkpoint, we have feelings just like you!!!

Wait, the people of this country are already being a solution to the problem by being forced to pay a transport tax, spend endless hours in line per year depending on the frequency of travel, now we are meant to come up with solutions for the incomeptency of those we're paying for?
