DCA TSO:

Thanks for asking around - I'm curious of that house!

As for the thirty-minute rule, I'm not sure whether you're being sarcastic or not, but that rule was abolished in 2005 (thank heavens - was kind of a silly rule). And, you make DCA seem like it's positively crawling with governmental officials on serious business, watching the passengers. That kind of creeps me out a bit, to be honest, because whenever I visit or fly DCA, everyone seems "normal" and it feels kind of weird knowing that there's undercover government officers watching me without me knowing it (I'm not surprised of the FAM, but FBI and other agents....thought they only supervised high crime areas?). Is this common at other airports, or is DCA unique in this prospect due to its' nearness to the District?
