Honest folks get real jobs where they don't torture honest citizens. While a small number of you may have accidently ended up pestering us, most of you like pushing other folks around.

OT, but still useful, perhaps:
In a very strange and unique way, the egregious behaviors witnessed or experienced at TSA checkpoints is analogous to America's poor track record vis-a-vis police officers and their treatment of ethnic/racial minorities. If some good can come of this state of affairs, it is my hope that the public might develop an awareness of the need to stop ALL abuses of police/security power, regardless of whom it affects. ------------------ Thank you for choosing Continental Airlines, a proud member of the SkyTeam Alliance.

If a point leader or supervisor is a nazi then it can feel like 50% or more because they rush into enforce trivial or non-existent rules in a heartbeat. If I have a person ask for a handcheck on film I have to be very sneaky because there is another screener as well as a point-leader who will argue and argue with the passenger that their film must go through the x-ray and that it is safe. So not only is there no consistency from airport to airport, there is often no consistency on one point from screener to screener. That's what poor leadership, crappy hiring practices and mushy, goofy directives do to an organization.</font> |
