This must be a line that screeners are instructed to say in order to elicit cooperation. I have heard it on more than one occasion.

See also my post here. I think TSA maintains this confusion deliberately so they can say "safer than a cell phone" about body scanners without specifying which body scanner technology. |

Personally I do not know of anyone who is unhappy about being screened.

You are of course correct, and I'd like to offer you a personal apology for any hurt feelings that may have arisen from reading any of my posts. I am unfortunately better at letting of steam using harmless invective and unfortunately worded statements. They seem rather appropos and/or humorous when first penned, but lose their lustre upon review. This is a trait that is unlikely to change over the remainder of my life, but it works for me, so I embrace it with all my heart, and would ask that you do the same by focusing on the broad message rather than the language used to make that point.

I used to work for a private ambulance service, which required living five hours away from my wife for the workweek, only seeing her on weekends. This job also provided the only disposable income outside of hefty school loans for supporting my small family (wife, myself and a bird).
One day, the owner of the company came to me with a stack of my run reports, covering the past 90 days, telling me that I needed to change the medical codes for the reason for transport or he would not get paid by Medicare. He went on to provide me with a run-by-run list of the codes and narratives that he wanted me to write up and sign. I quit on the spot, turned over my ambulance keys and walked out. The following day, I made reports to the local authorities and Medicare (although I never heard back from either).

I have zero sympathy for someone not willing to take a stand when they see their employer advocating or ordering tasks that are in violation of moral, ethical or Constitutional standards/practices. If individual TSA employees do not like the "disrespect" they receive from a portion of the traveling public, then they need to choose to not work for TSA. After all, their boss, and their coworkers in many cases that I have witnessed, have no problems telling the public, whom THEY SERVE, to not fly if we do not like their policies...
As I said before, I have no respect for people who "just do their jobs" without considering the moral implicatons of what they are doing. |

Perhaps if we take Napolitano and run her through a grope session and then take John Pistole and his family and subject them to the same things he orders for innocent travelers, the madness and abuse might abate. Why has Obama ignored the outcries from the public? Let's put him and his family through the scanners and gropings and see how quick the new procedures stop. - |

Not a dig at BHO; the same would be true of any President of either party. |
Are TSOs actually using "the website is out of date" as an excuse?

Even here when it was pointed out that the website still states 3-1-1 in a quart size bag we were told that is incorrect (by a TSO). |
The internet is the place most people are going to go for this kind of information. If they can employ thousands of gropers, can't they just hire one webmaster?

My NEXUS card was refused at PHX and the supervisor told me the TSA website was "out of date" when I pulled it up on my smartphone. I then showed him this post by Pistole saying that TWIC and NEXUS cards were acceptable for ID at TSA airport checkpoints and the nitwit had the audacity to tell me "that program hasn't started yet." So, yes, they are using "the website is out of date" excuse, because, as we know, some TSA dolt at PHX is privy to when the TSA website is being updated in Washington. Either that supervisor was lazy or a liar. Neither is complimentary to him. |
NO SYMPATHY FROM ME FOR THE WANNA BE MALL COPS :mad::mad::mad::mad:

(This is actually pretty serious as it may be an accusation of a federal crime of giving false information to a federal employee during the performance of their duties or some such. But, IANAL, so I am probably wrong. I know I will find out if I am. :p ) |
