TSA screeners seem to be fairly well trained in appropriate ways to say things to passengers. This was a major improvement in the changeover.
I do appreciate the positive response. It is a rarity here. Compared to comments such as we were wrong for ever accepting the job, I do appreciate the acknowledgement that we're more courteous and speak better English.

Now all we need to improve is everything else...

Sending copies of our newsletters to papers won't do any good if they won't print it. As others have already said bad news it what sells so that is what they print. I suppose we could try and publish our own newspaper and set up the racks right next to USA today. I don't know how many people would buy it though.
The only way our paper would sell is to include a "Get Out of SSSS Free" card. :D

I'd go more for a "Keep your Profile shoes on Free" card. Everyone should have fun not just selectees. :D

Thanks Girl.
This response blew me away also. Looking at the stats for our airport, I just don't see it being that high. I am wondering if a good portion of this is related to the removal of HAZMAT from the luggage. Travelers are still bringing gallon containers of Acetone, MEK, Naptha, Baccardi 151, kerosene, propane, camping stove fuel all mixed in with batteries and sharp objects that can puncture these containers. I think that more camera monitoring would take care of the theft issue to a certain extent. The TSA does not exclusively handle bags and the media is biased because the airlines have serious issues with employees who are fired but that doesn't make the news.
