This is a new one. I've done this job for 3 years and I've never heard that. We were just talking about putting them at the gates so people don't feel intimidated asking for one. Saying their SSI is a bunch of BS. I think supervisors that don't want to give them out have probably been warned about the things they do and don't want any more complaints going to the office about them. But that's just my opinion. Anyway, you can always go to another checkpoint and ask for one.
