Yes, that would be a reasonable interpretation of "...load thousands of printed pages into a PED without adding one iota to the weight or bulk of our carry-on..."

Which brings us full circle to the "ability to read" requirement...

Funny, cause as a crew member I used to have a copy of the SOPs that affected me during my travels. I carried it through security one day so I would not be subject to secondary screening and they insisted that I didn't have the latest revision. My revision was dated the week previous and I highly doubt a new revision was issued that quickly (and of course it wasn't). Most of the screeners DO NOT follow the SOPs in place. They like to make up their own rules to fit the situation. STL is/was king of new rule per day. I can at least say, the harassment of crew members has gone down over the past couple of years but it is still there not to mention the daily harassment of normal pax.

I love the TSA screeners that try to engage me in a conversation to see if I have been drinking. I usually just greet them with a series of grunts and shrugs since I am not the most friendly person first thing in the morning.

Maybe it would make sense if it were. Whatever either a passenger or screener can download on the spot is the final arbiter of disputes, because new rules would go on the web site first as a matter of course. In fact, that's where the screeners themselves would find out about changes.

I understand what the OP was referring to. What I am referring to are the screeners that continue to tell travelers "the website hasn't been updated" when physically shown what the site says on an actual computer connected to the internet at that moment.

Precisely.

You mean screeners that lie. @:-)

What????? A screener lying???? NEVER!!!!! :rolleyes:

How DARE you, you whiner! ;)

I've encountered three-stripe supervisor liars. :td:

Comrade Kip Hawley is a disgusting little liar, so it's no surprise to see the lying permeate through the employees.

Direct evidence of the binary liquid explosive lie making air travel less safe. Most of the screeners know it is a joke, so how can they take anything else about their jobs seriously?

Every encounter with a water bottle wielding passenger denigrates the TSA in both the eyes of the passenger and the screener.

Well phrased, birdstrike, well phrased.

I hope I don't sound completely stupid, but what does SSI and SOP stand for? Thanks!

Sensitive Security Information

Standard Operating Procedure

Thanks, Spiffffff! :-D

Seldom ? Try never.

I said seldom because I hate to speak in absolutes unless I have evidence that it always happens. The instance I was thinking of was when the new electronics screening was implemented. I couldn't remember if all the details were posted on the website before the screening started.
