Tongue and cheek, Bart and eyecue.
The truth of the matter is that you may be correct.
Bart, eyecue and the other regulars here appear to be highly intelligent and well-spoken.
Not to mention that they have also developed hides of leather from posting in this forum.....
But as we've said in many other threads around this forum, the TSA folks in this forum shouldn't assume that their brethren around the US are the same clear and rational thinkers. It appears to me, as time goes by, that the TSA is lowering the bar in whom they employ.
IMO, the first set of folks in 2002 were gung-ho and more professional than the newbies I've seen lately. And I pretty much can recognize the newbies in the airports I fly through on a regular basis.
I don't know if it's the payscale, the turnover, the mundane job duties or what but the new crew doesn't seem as gung-ho and professional as in the past.
Just my two pesos worth as usual. YMMV.....
