Best quote?:
• Passengers should be chosen randomly for shoes and coat inspections. Precheck programs for frequent fliers that expedite security screening should be applied to all travelers.
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
Kip Hawley: Airport transportation security officers are misunderstood
He says infractions are related to being unmotivated and enforcing senseless rules
Hawley: Officers need to be trained, empowered and allowed to think for themselves
He says allow banned items, except obvious ones; stop shoe inspections, intrusive pat-downs

Gee, Kippie. Where was all this when you were actually in a position to do something?
You're a pandering little jackass, Kip.

I think I understand the "airport transportation security officials" perfectly. Jacked up little Hitlers. That's it.

Typical of TSA, he wasn't really allowed to think under the regime he served. Instead, Skeletor dictated all the rules. With respect to the liquids ban, Skeletor himself admits in a British documentary he pushed the Kipster out of the way to type up the ban rules himself.

I don't want to minimize the Holocaust, because it was undoubtedly the most evil thing the Nazis did, but it wasn't the ONLY evil thing they did. And without all of those OTHER evils, the Holocaust couldn't have happened.
