And I look like an old, retired American grandpa, except to the TSA screeners who punished me for it twice in a row(I GUESS... they are NOT very forthcoming with reasons when THEY violate the law...)

There won't be a third time to mistake me for a terrorist. Most old grandpas are a helluva lot smarter than that. Agencies can terrorize, too. Those FF folks who'd call me and the missus Ma and Pa Kettle are prime examples of robotic inurement. They will bend over for ANYONE (quickly, too!) to avoid the agony of waiting any longer than a microsecond.

Welcome to flyertalk, BigDogBart. Unfortunately, the jargon in your post is fodder from the TSA site as far as I can tell. I WOULD like to know your opinions about TSA's pledge of dignity and respect for PAXs and how any of it is possible at ANY checkpoint, anywhere, any time.


Yet, you've remained strangely silent following your first post...
