I love it!

NBC News tonight had two segments on the TSA. One about lousy training at Atlanta and the alleged cheating by screeners at SFO and another segment about Cardinal Jaime Ortega from Cuba who was detained and grilled in Miami when trying to get into the country. The TSA blamed the Border Patrol for detaining him and the Border Patrol blamed the TSA!!! It was said he was a threat to the security of our country. The report said the Cardinal refused to answer questions that he considered humiliating.

'The screeners say they're not receiving on-the-job training required by the TSA because management is too focused on keeping security lines moving.'

"We know there is no consistent training program across the country," says aviation security expert Michael Boyd. "We know there is no consistent training program even for the managers who manage screening checkpoints."

Most of us here could have told them that!
