That image is SSI comrade. Disclosure of that image has seriously impacted the security at all checkpoints throughout the TSA system.

Is anyone sure that this is actually a TSA checkpoint? Almost looks like an immigration queue to me. I can't recall seeing computers near the ID checking station in any airports.

The line divider appears to say "____ezia ___port". The only match I can see in a quick search would be Lamezia-Terme Airport in Italy. Not sure why Airport would be in English though.

Agree. Looks like an Italian airport-- not the TSA.

It happens at TSA checkpoints, too. I took this shot at FLL:


Of course, it is the Sheriff's Deputy, not the TSOs playing games on the computer. But it was very much at a TSA checkpoint.

This is not appreciate it for checkpoint behaviors and they cannot be allowed to plays the solitaire games at all. Because the security personnel must to have stay at work and not to do play the games. It will get fired from their jobs.
