I hope this was meant tongue-in-cheek. TSA shouldn't have any thieves. However, since when is "making unfair accusations" a security risk? I thought it was political speech and protected by the First Amendment.
I also question the intelligence of some TSA staff -- and the questions are legitimate! But the supervisors are generally quite intelligent and sophisticated; no complaints there at all.
I've found TSA staff to be uniformly pleasant, professional and polite -- I can't recall a single bad experience. What does that have to do with anything? Eyecue related an instance in which someone wasn't allowed to fly because TSA thought he had a bad attitude. I wasn't aware that TSA's job included enforcing rules of etiquette.
If the library card has a picture, then what's the problem? It's issued by a government, right?
I was wondering the same thing. TSA's job is to enforce security rules, which require presentation of a government-issued photo ID. If a library card sufficies, what business is it of theirs if a passenger decides to show a library card rather than a drivers license or passport?
