Well, I thought I could ignore this post, but it looks like that's not going to happen.

How haughty of you, Elite Nomore, to insult screeners or anyone in the service industry with your arrogant attempt to make some sort of connection between low intelligence and low paying jobs. Of course, it would have helped had you used an actual word seeing as how "underbrained" simply doesn't exist in the English language. It appears that your attitude towards people in the service industry is one of regarding them as beneath you or not worthy of your respect. It certainly reflects a contempt and a predisposition you have to abuse people in these jobs. Don't you think the world would be a better place if you treated others with a sense of decent respect regardless of their job? Why the insults? Why not discuss a topic without making it personal? Does putting yourself above or others beneath you fulfill some sort of desperate need for self-importance?

Did you want to get a rise out of the TSA screeners you know who participate in these discussions? Is this hit-and-run name-calling the sort of adult behavior that makes you better than us? Is this your measure of self-worth? Is this how you define being a man? Just asking, pal. No need to respond. I truly don't care. Just wanted you to know that it's difficult for me to attempt to answer your basic question, which is a good one, without ignoring the blatant attempt on your part to insult screeners and anyone else whose paycheck is apparently lower than yours.

But then again, it's an assumption on your part. Some of us do know how to invest our money, and some of us choose this job because we truly enjoy it.

Even if it means dealing with people like you.
