Hey, neat~
 
Many, many, many, many, many years ago, a company came to HSV to film part of a training video for law enforcement at our checkpoint. It took about four days, but it all ended up going alright, and we even got to be in it. They took volunteers from the TSA staff to be the screeners in the video, but we had to wear white shirts and not our TSA uniform. Still, ya' get a pretty good view of the fish bowl. :p

Airport Security - AU11

Starting at 1:07, that's what our old checkpoint looked like in HSV :D

For the record, all of the 'passengers' were actors that the company brought.

Are you in it?

Also, at 0:24 is that the famous Darth Vader scene you once mentioned?

In it? No. I was there, but not in it. During the hand-wanding part, I was about sixty feet or so to the left, way off camera.


lso, at 0:24 is that the famous Darth Vader scene you once mentioned?
Nah. That was part of the training video sequence. The Darth Vader scene I mentioned happened later, around the time of the release of Revenge of the Sith. This training video was made about... 2003? Ish? Maybe early 2004.

That looked a lot like soft core porn?

Where can I find more of these "training videos"? :D

The Darth Vader scene is cute, but how often does British Airways tailpaint actually appear at HSV?

Never, that I'm aware of.

I was going to say the same thing. In fact... the way I'm viewing it... the female screener is ripping her shirt off and not the aggressive female.

Based off this incident I presume?

And I think this is the full video.

Indeed, it is! I'll give a full breakdown later of which ones are actually TSOs (and whether or not they're still here). I showed this video in the break room before the shift started; it was a lot of laughs from some of the people who's been here longer than others.

Also, the date mentioned at the end of the video was 2005, so there's a distinct possibility that I got my memories fuzzed up. It's entirely possible that this was the Darth Vader incident I mentioned once, except that... I could've sworn that it was two seperate happenings, and that one (the guy in the training video) had a really, really good costume (think, like, $900 or so) and the other one was a really cheap one.

But evidence supports the fact that I might be mistaken, and that it was just one occurance.
