Now A New Even More Dangerous Security Threat
Get this one everybody!!!!
Flying from DAL to IAH today on CO I first was forced to X-RAY my wallet and belt even though they did not set off the metal detector and then I was wanded because I guess I looked menancing (read a 20something white guy that had just pulled an alnighter on a project).
After questioning this the National Guardsmen got involved and started threatening me for questioning the need to wand me after going through the stand up metal detetctor 2x and not setting it off.
Thats not even the best part yet, after X-RAYing my wallet and keys there was deemed a "dangerous article." What is this you ask? Simply the emergency key card for my car I keep in my wallet. Apparently it was "dangerous" and had to be confiscated. Yes they now think keys with sharp points may infact be used to bring down a regional jet.
This is absolutely ridiculous!!!! There need to be universal standards put in place to quell these power hungry minimum wages employees.
