SFO - not on the ball.

At SFO the other day the TSA drones were so intent on de-shoeing me, ensuring laptops were out, jackets were off, etc. that they forgot to check or even ask for my boarding pass <gasp>. Could it be because two of the TSA standees were on their cellphones having conversations that were obviously not related to their employment?

Of course, the airport-supplied bag counter (whose sole job seems to be to limit you to two "bags" no matter how big/small) wasn't able to do his job properly either. Q: "How many bags do you folks have?" A: "The requisite number." (ie: These are not the droids you are looking for!)

What a pathetic waste of time and effort. THINK OF THE CHILDREN!
