*and if you click on "learn more" under "what's behind the uniform" and then "learn more" again, you can learn all kinds of stuph :rolleyes:

What? $97.95 each? You must think they have the keys to the US Mint to waste money like that. Times are tough. For only $24.95 we can put them in the Kip Hawley Executive "I work for W" Look.

Wow.
 
I feel safer already.

I also noticed that the "Leadership Journal" signed by Kip himself hasn't had an addition since December 21, 2007. He must be too busy tracking tewwrowists to write in his diary.:rolleyes:

A future entry from Comrade Kip's diary....

September 11, 2011. Last night to the flicks. All war films. One very good one of a ship full of refugees being bombed somewhere in the Mediterranean.
Audience much amused by shots of a great huge fat man trying to swim away with a helicopter after him, first you saw him wallowing along in the water like a porpoise, then you saw him through the helicopters gunsights, then he was full of holes and the sea round him turned pink and he sank as suddenly as though the holes had let in the water, audience shouting with laughter when he sank. then you saw a lifeboat full of children with a helicopter hovering over it. there was a middle-aged woman might have been a jewess sitting up in the bow with a little boy about three years old in her arms. little boy screaming with fright and hiding his head between her breasts as if he was trying to burrow right into her and the woman putting her arms round him and comforting him although she was blue with fright herself, all the time covering him up as much as possible as if she thought her arms could keep the bullets off him. then the helicopter planted a 20 kilo bomb in among them terrific flash and the boat went all to matchwood. then there was a wonderful shot of a child's arm going up up up right up into the air a helicopter with a camera in its nose must have followed it up and there was a lot of applause from the party seats but a woman down in the prole part of the house suddenly started kicking up a fuss and shouting they didnt oughter of showed it not in front of kids they didnt it aint right not in front of kids it aint until the police turned her turned her out i dont suppose anything happened to her nobody cares what the proles say typical prole reaction they never----

They must have been anticipating lots of uniform infractions in Lubbock today because yesterday afternoon they had no less than a dozen TSA folks including a chain of supervisors at the screening point (for that handful of dinky RJ flights) PLUS at least 15 police cars lined up next to the terminal building full of policemen sitting in their vehicles watching the tarmac.

I was told it was because they were expecting 1,000 Hurricane Ike evacuees to arrive (which is a bit silly, isn't it, to screen incoming passengers?)... but I bet it was really secret preparation for the uniforms.

In their practice for "looking official" about five of them decided to do random security checks on a majority of the passengers boarding our flight from LBB to DFW.

Heil Hawley!!!

Oh, ick. Boy that looks like a flak jacket.

Wow. I read here on FT about the new uniforms before. Pretty neat webpage they made on the new uniform:

At great risk around here, I wish to defend Der Leader. Herr Kips Diary clearly shows that on Days 1 and 2 he performed three official job functions each day. On Day 3 he performed four official job functions.

A government employee who performs 33% extra work on only his third day on the job, with no additional taxpayer paid training, is a shining example of the motivated leadership that deserves a big raise and a promotion. :rolleyes:

Having seen the uniforms in use lately at a number of airports, I'm not sure what the fuss is all about. The shirts look cheap and the color -- although blue -- is off. Remove the badges & they'd look like janitors.

The shirts can be spotted a mile away, and they don't make them resemble law enforcement officers, at least not to me.

Your tax dollars at waste (yet again).

Better x-rays? Nope!

Fix the puffers? (they actually work well) Nope!

Instead, the TSA makes another banquet of its budget because supposedly its screeners got no respect in white. It's not the white, Kippie. It's your jackass policies.

Yes. I was disturbed by that as well.

What do the name tags say? Do they have a badge number? Or are those actually on the badges?
