Both games in full effect when I flew out of HOU Tuesday.

I was asked both name and destination. I mumbled my name. Then the TDC asked my destination, and I said "Really, that game again?" He asked my destination again. I said Birmingham. My BP said Atlanta.

He rolled his eyes and sent me through for my weekly grope.

Do you feel safer now?

They must be setting themselves up for a repetitive motion injury claim by using that tactic so much. Any other customer service occupation, an eye roll could be grounds for sanctions.

As long as you have a valid BP to access the secure area, and you've handed over your valid ID, what does it matter what/how you answer?

Anyone try the silent treatment yet? Or say something like, "Pyongyang." (Probably have to add in, "That's in North Korea by the way.")

Or pull a Homer Simpson, stand there quietly for a sec, then turn around and loudly whisper to the person behind you, "I think he's talking to you..."

You'd sort of hope that while the TSA goons might not get fired for groping children & stealing stuff, they would at least get fired for providing nuclear armed nations casus belli.
