I'm not a screener, and I do not work for TSA. I do fly on a regular basis, but I wouldn't consider myself a frequent flyer at this time. I do believe that much of what is said in this forum does actually happen. I also believe:

1. Occasionally high drama is added to the stories. (You know, the tales grow taller on down the line.)

2. There is no shortage of rude people in this world who may or may not be employed by TSA.

3. There is no shortage of self-important people in this world who may or may not be employed by TSA.
