Why don't you go back and read some of the numerous post on this forum in reference to this subject before making off the wall comments about a subject that you obviously have no idea about you are speaking of.

I am able to be identified by frequent flyers due to sitting in the same seats day in and day out for the last five years. I know that I could mingle in the airport and board the A/C without being recognized. I don't preboard, I don't play on that stupid little phone they issue. I give off no other clues as to being a FAM or cop.

If you feel that your tax dollars are being wasted then contact your Congressman or Representative. Actually, I should stop cause I don't care what you think......



As to the other post in reference to my first post.

My post was a feable attempt at being sarcastic about all of you. "I'm so smart", "We passengers will stop the hijacking", "I'm an attorney and know better", "isreali's are the best", and every other FF'er that thinks it is still cool to look at, stare, smile, or whatever to FAMs because they know what seat they are in. I look around F and I'm usually the only one in my thirties with my hair and not overweight. I am sitting in the seats that you routinely mention so it doesn't take Einstein to figure out that I am most likely the FAM on that flight.

What I am saying is......big freaking deal! We (FAMs) know that alot of you know where we sit and that you may be able to pick some of us out. You have had five years of practice. Our agency heads have determined that it was a great policy to make us wear suits and ties on every airline, every flight, every day and sit in the same seats over and over again and to board in front of all the passengers for years. If you couldn't pick us out then you must have had a learning disability.

If you can still pick us out because of our boarding procedures or seat assignments then you are the freaking man! Woo Hoo for you! Good job! If you don't like what you see, don't tell me. Don't look at me crosseyed. I don't want to talk to you about it. Most likely, I don't want to talk to you at all. Contact your Congressman or Representative and tell them about what you see and how you feel about it. Do you really believe that I can change it? Do you really think that anything you do to me is really going to make a difference? Or do you do it cause you think it makes you look smart or lets you express to all you're other FF'ers that you're not taking any more crap off of those "pesky Air Marshals" stealing my first class seat. LOL. Y'all are too funny.
