TSA Epic Fail
 
So the TSO checking my boarding pass and ID this morning, the one who spent 5 minutes checking my documents because he thought for sure I was a terrorist, didn't even notice that I gave him the wrong boarding pass for a different city.

Same nonsense, different day! Thought I'd share for a laugh, or at least a snicker...

What a boring job they have. What a leaky sieve of a so-called "security" layer. I would hawk a booger in their general direction but that would result in their whipping out a yellow card on me for making mock of their null contribution to finding WEI.

When I looked at their applicant specifications, I noted that they require a GED or High School diploma, but nothing was said about literacy. No wonder their application is written at a third grade reading level.

You don't have to be literate to earn a GED or diploma? Sigh.

Stupid, ineffective, and unnecessary jobs shouldn't be done by government employees.

Oh, wait... um, never mind.

What the clerks don't realize is that after I pass through their portal at a major airport, I throw away the BP with all their scribbles, and print a new one at one of the Customer Service kiosks. No one has yet stopped me at the gate to ask where my TSA-approved BP is.

At PHX T3N tonite, a TSO had to inspect my BP when I got to the front of the "magic squiggle" wait line, then I took two steps to another TSO who also read my BP and added the magic squiggle. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Oh wait, I'm repeating my words.
