Apparently, they are back at it
They scanned my protein shake for traces of explosives while I was waiting in line to board the plan. This happened after I was drinking it by the way....It was odd because I was in the middle of drinking it when the TSA agent approached me and told me he needed to swab the inside for explosive residue.

Was this in a Twitter message? We discussed earlier that the citizen's response options would be to guzzle the drink, hand the empty bottle to the clerk and walk away. Plan B would be to act nervous during the interrogation, lose control over the container, and spill it all over the clerk's spiffy blue fake cop uniform.

Flew out of ABQ last week. After I got thru security, I found 4 screeners (complete w/their little cart & sign) huddled by the gift shop ready for some gate screening. No idea how long they had been there before I got there, but they hung out, in that same spot, for over an hour that I watched them before I leaded to my gate.
I would love to know how much of the $8 billion/year these knuckleheads get is wasted on this stupidity.
