But it IS special. TSA is desperate for anything positive. As long as they're linked to the airlines' SSS stupidity system, they WILL be desperate. There are over 100 SSI reasons the airlines can punish you with SSS, according to a screener I heard from, and she only knows 5 or 6, and cannot even mention THOSE. Did you get that? One HUNDRED ways to coerce you, and you'll never face your accuser or be given due process. One hundred laws to hide bhind. Since you cannot know them, may I suggest reasons #, oh, say 71-93 might start out with one reading: "Tends to look like a Methodist," and ending with "Lifted left eyebrow when given a legal command to bend over..."

Thank God they kept me off the retirement vacation plane long enough for my wanded bare feet to explode in the other corridor...

All seriousness aside, go to TSA website and look up "Positive Things People are Saying" link, if they've allowed this embarrassingly empty forum to survive.
