Typical overreach and display of "wanna-be" importance for the Tub Stacking Association.



"If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

Didn’t there used to be a member here that was TSA and would regularly try to defend and make excuses for them?

It made for some hilarity around here I know for sure! Big Grin

I'll repeat my story about how TSA found and confiscated a butter knife in Mrs. Flash's carry on but completely missed 2 Ka-Bars that were in the same bag.

They're not security, they're security theater.

Oh, my mom bought a bagel from an airport vendor, and brought it through security. TSA took the plastic butter knife.

once through security, my mom went to one of the vendors in the secure area and got another butter knife.

You can't make this stuff up.

My brother is a UPS pilot. He mentioned to TSA that it was funny he couldn't board with a swiss army knife, but they had a crash ax in the cockpit.With a straight face he was told TSA's job was to make he couldn't get control of the aircraft.

So, there was some lady who had a bottle of FROZEN water at the TSA screening area.

TSA wanted to take it. She said it's not a liquid so they can't per their own policy.

Who is right?

I was specifically told many years ago by TSA (when they were enforcing a zero-liquid policy even for flight crew) to freeze anything liquid or gel, and then it could be brought through since it was no longer liquid.

But, the reality is whoever the genius of the moment is manning TSA gets to make the rules. You can ask for a supervisor but don't expect a positive outcome.

The passenger, but only if the TSA screener was awake-- or even present-- in a high school science class, ever.

To add my bit to the Why TSA Is Destined to Fail: I once watched TSA go full-secondary-inspection on a USAF Master Sergeant-- in Class A uniform-- traveling with his obviously disabled son. One of the shiny little metal thingies on his uniform? A Missileman Badge.

Bravo, TSA. And thank you for keeping us safe from the guy we entrust with nukes.

Good lord. Stupid fucks. Long time ago the TSA thought my insulin pens were liquid bombs. If I told you what they did to those insulin pens, in original Lilly Corporation unopened packaging with prescription labels stuck on them from the originating pharmacy, you wouldn't believe it. The robotic automata of stupidity in action was surreal.

Oh it's already failed, miserably. Anyone with one functioning brain cell knows airport screening does 2 things and 2 things only: gives government an excuse to say they're "doing something", and makes the traveling public (sheeple) "feel safe".
