Read the title of the thread

And you're not biased in favor the TSA? OK. :rolleyes:

1. Missing stuff from baggage. I think for outright missing baggage, I'd pin down the airline. TSA can't be THAT bad or incompetent! :eek:
2. Yes. Once again, keep in mind every other country in the world demands your presence if your bag is searched. A bunch of airports around the US actually have official TSA signs telling you to wait until your baggage has cleared.

TSA is doing some stuff right though by having more screeners in the checkpoints and has researchers trying come up with better technologies (through private contractors) for screening.

Read my posts. All of them.

See this is exactly as I thought.....another bashing thread... :rolleyes:

The title should read Bash TSA here...and all positive replies are not welcome ...not only not welcome but sure to draw fire and entertain the folks...

OP You have too much time on your hands.... :rolleyes: BUt I will add you are always respectful in your replies...because you know the TSA haters here will flock like the lemmings they are, and do the dirty work for you.... ;)

I still give you props for your respecful replies.... ^

..... ;)

wrong
 

All the bold stuff in your post isnt true. The medal of honor story is an urban legend. The other stuff might have been prohibited early on but is okay to take now.

Incorrect. Wrong. Even Snopes.com confirms the story is true.

Rep Mica is quoted in news stories in early 2002 complaining about the lunacy of prohibiting a Medal of Honor.

Bart,

With all due respect, the 9/11 Commission Report is not even worth using as toilet paper. Most of the members were part of the problem, because they were in the national government on 9/11 and did nothing to prevent it. For a more sanguine view of the 9/11 Commission and airport security in the United States, I suggest consulting the Boyd Group site, http://www.aviationplanning.com/asrc1.htm. I realize that this is a consulting group trying to sell their services, but it is a business, private industry in what is still partly a free market system.

okay
 

I stand corrected. I missed the operative word TRIED. There was another post a while back that said it WAS not allowed.

So what, you're trying to guilt me into being a TSA lackie? :td:

As someone else mentioned, if you would actually READ the post, is that it's a persuasive presentation. I don't know how I could persuade somebody about something if I didn't have an opinion on it. :rolleyes:

I don't "need" to show how super I am to anyone, especially not you.

I also highly doubt that you would take the time to read such a convoluted government document yourself. I read government documents enough at work every day to know that the people that write them don't even understand what all is there. Were it the case, we wouldn't have loopholes and dumb laws being stricken down.

And we've already had a discussion about the 9/11 commission in another thread. You put a lot more faith in it than I do. In your words, I would call it a "cute little charade."

Knee jerk reactions are the last thing this government needs. It got us the Patriot Act.

Read the original post.

Feel free to contribute something positive. I have yet to see you do that.

As I stated that I worked for the government, if you'd rather me do the work on your dime, I'd be happy to do that. ;)

I have a rule: I keep it as civil as the replies to me. I don't like being a dink.

Thanks. I try.

Thanks for clarifying.

I did notice at BWI on my last flight that they did have a lot of people there, which was a good thing. The line was very long, but they did well enough to get us out of there in roughly 10 minutes. I didn't stand still in line.

Now if we can get rid of the shoe carnivals and get some consistency, I think people would gripe a lot less. It looks like there are specific airports that are the problem, as there are ones that are quick and get things done quickly.

For me, though, consistency is the key. That's what bugs me more than anything. If shoe carnivals are required, they should be required at all airports. If they're not, I shouldn't be subjected to the whims of the screener.

Super

I think if you want to epitomize the secuirty procedures set forth and demonstrate its consistent application, I would switch in midstream from a Power Point presentation to one on an easel, then ditch that and go simply verbal, then to to a dry-erase board, issue handouts and then revoke them, then go back to Power Point, then verbal....
