TSA Joke
 
Even web cartoons are making fun :)

Can you imagine actually being a TSA agent?


Your a complete joke to most all Americans
Your actions disgust most Americans
You are constantly ridiculed in the Press
You are required to fondle the genitalia of strangers all day long
You have no other employment options
You are not allowed to use your own intelligence to make decisions.
You are required to pretend that water is a dangerous substance.

Conclusion:

TSA people treat passengers miserably because they themselves are miserable people.

+ You don't understand the difference between liquid and non-liquid.
pasta is liquid

C&H is (mostly) great! Dark humor, clever jokes, bizarre... makes a great morning read. or a couple of hours going through the history... not that i'd know :D

p.s. on liquid pasta - i had a tupperware container with potato salad once (going home after brother's graduation fiesta = a LOT of leftovers). The container made the rounds through the hands of all staff at the entire effing checkpoint to confirm that it was safe to fly with... good times.

ha! it must have been some mean looking potato salad :D Once the TSA agent noticed that I had my bottle of liquid foundation out in the bin and told me that I didn't have to take it out of my bag because "it is not liquid, it's makeup" Umm...sure.

two-pund costco pepper jack cheese is another favorite of mine.

Wow, you're lucky you got through without your salad getting tossed. :eek:

In the trash, I mean.

They need to add people who are in the process of getting a sex change operation too because we all know that the TSA Agents know that private information about the passengers once thay have been scanned.

This is without a doubt, seriously lacking any merit and is totally your opinion.
1. Most Americans dont care It is the FT'ers that say those things.
2. The press is one sided.
3. We are not required to do that "all day long."
4. We have lots of options I just could not locate a job that pays 67k a year right now,
5. I get to use sound judgment and decision making every day.
6. We dont pretend anything.

The last thing, if that was true then why are over half of our people lifers?

Also regarding the pre op TS and Z class of people. We had one of those today.

(bolding mine). No, sound judgment would dictate that there's nothing dangerous about a single LGA < 3.4 ounces that is not in a baggie. Sound judgment would indicate that a 6 ounce tube of toothpaste that is clearly 90% empty is not a threat. Sound judgment is not to tell a passenger that TSA-approved locks are only for checked bags and should not be found in a pocket of a carry-on. Sound judgment would be to allow IDs that are listed as valid on the TSA website.

I'm not blaming you personally, but it is clear that your management structure (including your former federal judge who voluntarily took a pay and benefit cut to work in airport security) don't allow you to exercise sound judgment.

You may do so from time to time, but I'm certain it is not condoned by your superiors. Too many other statements from other TSOs, both here on the forum and on the TSA blog have proven otherwise.

I take it you think the press are FT'ers? That'd be interesting…

You may want to read up on the Stanford Prison Experiment, among other things.

This reply now explains why you made the comments about the breast milk story. You should have mentioned your place of employment. The "we don't pretend anything" line would be more believable. Just be up front about your affiliations before you start spouting judgements!:(

Hmm... Where have I heard that same thing in the past?

1. Most Southerners dont care It is the slaves that say those things.
2. The Northern press is one sided.

1. Most Germans dont care It is the Jews that say those things.
2. The Jewish press is one sided.

1. Most Japanese dont care It is the IJN that say those things.
2. The IJN publication is one sided.

1. Most Russians dont care It is the Trotskyists that say those things.
2. The Militant is one sided.

1. Most Chinese dont care It is the anti-Maoists that say those things.
2. The Anti-Party press is one sided.


Left or right, the same BS applies :D

The reason there has been less suicide bombings...
 
Muslim suicide bombers in Britain are set to begin a three-day strike next Monday in a dispute over the number of virgins they are entitled to in the afterlife. Emergency talks with Al Qaeda have so far failed to produce an agreement.

The unrest began last Tuesday when Al Qaeda announced that the number of virgins a suicide bomber would receive after his death will be cut by 25% this April from 72 to only 60. The rationale for the cut was the increase in recent years of the number of suicide bombings and a subsequent shortage of virgins in the afterlife.

The suicide bombers' union, the British Organization of Occupational Martyrs (or B.O.O.M.) responded with a statement that this was unacceptable to its members and immediately balloted for strike action. General Secretary Abdullah Amir told the press,

"Our members are literally working themselves to death in the cause of Jihad. We don't ask for much in return but to be treated like this is like a kick in the teeth".

Speaking from his shed in Tipton in the West Midlands in which he currently resides, Al Qaeda chief executive Osama bin Laden explained,

"We sympathize with our workers' concerns but Al Qaeda is simply not in a position to meet their demands. They are simply not accepting the realities of modern-day Jihad in a competitive marketplace. Thanks to Western depravity, there is now a chronic shortage of virgins in the afterlife. It's a straight choice between reducing expenditure and laying people off. I don't like cutting wages but I'd hate to have to tell 3000 of my staff that they won't be able to blow themselves up."

Spokespersons for the union in Newcastle, Middlesbrough, Essex and Australia stated that they would be unaffected as there are no virgins in these areas anyway.

Apparently the drop in the number of suicide bombings has been largely put down to the emergence of the Scottish singing star, Susan Boyle. Now that Muslims know what a virgin looks like, they are not so keen on going to paradise.

You can grandstand all you want, but I bet that if you quit or lost that handsomely paying job you wouldn't still give such a glowing review of your previous employer. My gut tells me that if someone offered you a lot of money to write a tell all (incognito of course) book or movie, you would run like the wind with that fistful of dollars.

If a TSA screener is being paid $67,000.00 then they are clearly being paid to ficken much.

You would be miserable too if you had to wear a smurf uniform that is three times too small. That alone would shrink a few million brain cells by cause of constriction. Now add the list above and just imagine the agony these blue people go through.

We're paying these people 67,000 a year to stage security theater, which is a colossal joke - until one considers the damage TSA inflicts upon the treasury and the Constitution.

the only people other than TSA employees who are glad TSA exists are the employees of the IRS.
