Funniest Line from a TSA Agent
I made my way though the nearly empty TSA lines at Tampa yesterday and struck up a conversation with an agent sitting next to the X-Ray monitor / screener guy. Maybe it was the storm's effect or perhaps fatigue from dealing with all the RNC delegates but this guy's humor was on overload. This was his best line -- which I think would make a dandy FT bumper sticker (quote):
"TSA -- Saving the world one water bottle at a time." :) |
You found a TSA Agent with a sense of humor!?!?! WHAAAAAT?!?!?

The new home for this discussion is the Checkpoints and Borders Policy Debate forum, as this topic has nothing to do with Delta Air Lines or the SkyMiles frequent flier loyalty program. Regards, Canarsie Co-Moderator, Delta SkyMiles forum |
Moved, so that nobody ever sees it? As much negativity floats around the DL board, I thought a laugh would be a plus.
The guys was working the Sky Priority side of the checkpoint at last. |

then I guess the world isn't very safe since the TSA's success rate in detecting my water bottle or liquids over 3 oz. in my carry on is less than 50%.

He must have still been in training.

I don't know which line is funnier, the one from the PAX or the one from TSA. You decide.
A middle-aged woman was submitting her belongings for x-ray. TSA: "Ma'am, your shoes will have to go through x-ray." PAX: "Do I have to take them off?":confused: TSA: "That's up to you.":rolleyes: |

I cleared in Anchorage recently: struck up a short conversation with a TSO while putting my bag and myself back together. (Conversation about ready to be home)
TSO: Oh, you're from Houston? I was there recently for training. Wait - "STATE YOUR NAME" (Said in total mock alarm) Me: ::Laughing:: TSO: Yea. It's completely ridiculous, like that's going to prove anything. We don't do that up here. Overall, that night in Anchorage was what the TSA should be striving for. Some humor, helpfulness, and common sense (ie, knowing the "Name Game" is utterly pointless) would go a long way to making them a respectable organization. |
Must be they are tired with the delegates. When I went through CLT on sept 1, their fatigue was showing. I requested my molestation. There was little argument over it. He told me they did not see anything to make me want to opt out. I told him it was due to the brain tumor I once had (true strory). He did not toss on his scrubs and mask and start to argue with me like he was a Dr. he praised me for being safe!!! Then we could not find my large bottom of saline that had been in my bin. I mentioned to all agents that it is there. Don't want them surprised. He found it at one test station. No clue if it had been tested. H gave it back and thanked me for 'enduring' the process.
