This is another example of the weak leadership that still infests TSA.
Oh most definately Bart. What got me was the fact that whoever the supe talked to on the phone apparently called him a moron, when the moron was the person on the phone! If the supe was unclear about the policy he should have, 1. consulted the SOP (the policy about tapes, VCRs, and camcorders is very clear) and 2. scheduled some training time for himself for some intensive SOP study.
