It's not working anymore! Do you think Komrades Kip and Chertoff got ahold of it and demanded the site be shut down? LOL
Wonder if it got too many hits. |

Not all are TSA issues. Some are problems caused by the airlines and some by other organizations, both federal and local.
1. LEOs preboarding 2. LEOs walking up exit lanes 3. No explosive checks at screening (ie-shoe carnival, liquid ban) 4. Not enough security screening for people with access to tarmac but who don't go into terminal 5. TSA mission of look for weapon, not wielder 6. Overnighting aircraft with no real security 7. More intel to the people actually doing the job 8. Listen to those same people doing the job. They see things the desk jockeys don't and might have an idea or two. 9. Roving TSA teams (this is beyond the scope of their training and authority) 10. Lack of Starbucks in DCA inside security Somebody better get moving on number 10, I tell you...... |

Fixed.
Files were still there. However, my personal webpage got shut down. Re-enabled it in my account. I'm a bit miffed this happened, as I don't think it was accidental. |

#8 We are now screening security side employees. And BTW.....they hate it.
Let's keep this going. Have seen some good ones. I know for fact that many airports are still NOT screening air side employees!!! How do you think you can get a case of wine home from Europe in a bag in the overhead compartment? |
Insulin Needles
I use the cartridge needles for my insulin. They are very tiny, more harmless than any pen or pencil. However, the brilliant TSA in COS decided that they were a hazard to air traffic safety and took them away. Then proceeded to scold me for attempting to "smuggle" them onboard :mad:. FWIW I always take them with me and have only had that one incident. But it just goes to show you that no two TSAs think alike...

I hate what's happened to security since 9/11. I can remember once leaving my house with 30 minutes to go before my flight -- and still making it on board.

I would have sent a letter to the COS media had it happened to me, as well as contacting my Member of Congress requesting "clarification" from DHS on this (to make sure DHS gets noticed on the COS problem). |

I wonder if this is due to increased security or merely the ever-increasing numbers of air travelers over the past seven years. Which in turn is due to the rapidly changing economy which is itself also subject to a sort of Moore's Law. We're now within a few years away from 9/11 being one decade old.

I do not like it when they give me a choice between being delayed by the extra checking/harassment and exposing my breasts by removing female suit jackets, which often only have a minimal shell underneath that is not modest at all and not meant for public display.
I have learned to travel in more masculine clothes, but I resent it. |

Please report this to the American Diabetes Association, which has a very active advocacy program. Unfortunately I don't know exactly where to report it. Their web site is diabetes.org. I have never had any reaction from screeners to my needles. Most are adequately informed -- they must see dozens every day given the number of diabetics in the US. The only time they even looked closely was nearly 30 years ago, and it wasn't the syringe or needle they noticed but the steel cylinder in which (in those days) I carried my glass syringe in an alcohol bath.

Can you please clarify for me more information about Moore's law? What is your situations about Moore's law? :confused:

In economic terms it would be increasing on an increasing scale (i.e., change is occuring at a faster and faster rate).
Please see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moores_law Your idiot boss Kip hawley loves to throw out technological terms he doesn't understand. "X-ray! Liquid terror! Shoe-icide!" Resist the temptation to follow in that imbecile's footsteps. |
