The only person I have referenced is YOU. Not slamming anyone, just providing factual information to your fictious claims of being an LEO.

Hey,

Do not insult me.

I am POST certified and am what I am.

Let it rest pal.

So sad guys like you are within the agency.

So you are POST certified, but never became an LEO?

TSASCRNR Dec 17, 2005 11:28 am

LOL, I am one, just not with TSA. Along with many other co-workers of mine who are also POST certified.

Why the LOL? So who are you an LEO with?

ND Sol, he is not a LEO. The only reason that he even knows the term POST is because I busted him on it.

His story is that he is a full time LEO and a part time TSA employee. Why work for fifteen dollars an hour when you can pick up hire backs for thirty plus? I thought so.

He continues to jump in other peoples faces about how he is an "officer" and how he is one phone call away from being a FAM. He is nothing, a nobody with limited or no experience in the law enforcement/military spectrum.

In other words...........a POSER!

^ I have to say that this is ridiculous and I have never had the option of repacking my bag. I always have to stand and watch and am told never to touch the bag or anything in it while on the table.

If this is indeed the SOP to allow the pax to repack then we have a severe case of power tripping going on as I was never given that option.

Ok, I shall not even attempt to argue with you.

It is a moot point to continue, are you THAT jealous I have military, have college and am in L/E, AND work with TSA?

Have a nice day now, 007.

Well certainly not the last. :D :D :D

1) TSAers, take your personal fights elsewhere.

2) Last time the french version of the TSA (in CAY, French Guyana) found it necessary to go through my bags, they told me I had to repack it myself. They wouldn't do it for me.

3) Already tried to get a new phone from your travel insurance?

After reading these posts, I went for a search through our SOP. It does state that we should offer to repack the bag. That would tell me that TSA employees don't necessarily have to repack the bag, but should offer to repack the bag as a courtesy for having to remove everything out of it.

I know that there are TSA employees that either stick to "I have to repack it" or "Here's your items, you can repack it." I can't do anything about those airports, but at my own, I've made it a point for every employee to offer to help repack. I think it's only right to offer help. I know I wouldn't like to get my backpack returned to me with all the contents in a bin and be told "Have a nice flight."

Just on a side note, I can't stand to use the word "officer" since there are no LEO characteristics. So since I can't refer to us as screeners, I use the word employees. That's just me.

It never hurts to file a claim. You may win, you may not. But if you feel we are at fault, I recommend you file a claim. You can find everything you need at www.tsaclaims.org.

Best of Luck!

AA2070 Dec 29, 2005 11:06 pm

Filed my claim today, but I'm not very optimistic. The day the TSA will pay for a $550 phone is the day everyone in the country who doesn't have a bomb in their shoe - wait, that IS everyone - can go through the metal detector without taking it off.
