As some of you like to refer to them with (un)clever acronyms, I say this; if you were treated as these people are treated on a day to day basis you would be grouchy also! For G-dsake people, haven't you ever heard the golden rule?
Speak for yourself. Unlike some people, I do not feel vulnerable and afraid of terrorism. And about the administration: I voted for President Bush twice now.
My disagreement with our airport security charade is not motivated by a serious lack of respect for authority. I'm tired of being treated like a criminal here in this country while not being treated like a criminal at airports in most other parts of the world. Over the years, I have learned how to recognize BS when I encounter it; The TSA and many of its practices set off my BS meter right away.
I couldn't care less if TSA employees are grouchy, nor do I care why.
Glad to hear about the person at JFK who objected to the gropefest. Hope more people do as she did.
TSA employees are strictly prohibited from accepting gifts from travelers at the checkpoint. For very good reasons, I might add.
What do airport checkpoints have to do with FBI agents at my house?
