Come on Spiff, this "TA-C" comment isn't really like you. Hell, when there's a "T-AC" on Flyer, I don't question the common sense of all the other members of the Community who continue to post. If anyone would look back over this thread, I think with an open mind, they'd see some of the most polite and responsible posting from a third party - anywhere on FlyerTalk. While I don't know Bart and TSAMGR personally, I think they are due a 'thank you' for the volume of information they are taking time to post on FT. I've been inconvenienced from time to time with the exisiting security proceedures, including the shoe thing and my beloved Nike's but it's such a small part of my overall travel time - I grin and move on.

We should be lucky that select TSA employees has chosen FT to help answers the many questions our members have - along with their opinions. I'm not aware of other travel Web sites that have this luxury, and I'm not happy that we as members of FlyerTalk would want to screw up this conduit to the TSA.

While not using the very same words, I can be a "AC"sometimes as well.

Now, I'd like to read more about the expert opinions of those with computers and defective RAM.
