Confessions of a TSA Agent

[CesnaCaptn]

There it is. Not defending the TSA or anything but why is almost every time we see stuff like this there is an underlying motive. This person could care less about fixing a failed system.

Plus WTF, a degree in creative writing. Great your paying for a joke degree (probabily with loans) in something you should have mastered in the 5th grade. What's your masters thesis? "What I did on my summer vacation"?

I know the article was long and there weren't any pictures, so I'm not surprised you missed the following paragraph:

"I feared I wouldn't be accepted into any of the seven programs to which I'd applied and dreaded being stranded in airport purgatory. But I was lucky: The first acceptance came in January, with an offer of a full scholarship. Several more followed."

O good. Happy to know this person won't be hitting the job market with debt. That's good because all they are qualified to do with it is the exact same job at the TSA or stock shelves at Walmart.

Maybe if more people would study something useful like math, science, engineering or business the supply of jobs that are actually careers not jobs would stay in this country and not migrate to countries where the younger generation isn't scared to study something challenging.

And yes I stopped reading at "creative writing major". All I needed to know wrt article motivation wise.

You're totally right. I don't know any writers who make any money.

The good part about a free market is that your influence on peoples' chosen majors stop when you run out of money. Either spending it on goods they produce afterwards or loaning it for their education beforehand.

Other than that, your and my opinion on what people major in is completely irrelevant.

O no not the grammar. You busted me on sh1t nobody cares about. You got the point what's a few commas and quotes placed in various positions going to do?

Me: I helped my uncle, Jack, off a horse.

You: i helped my uncle jack off a horse

Grammar matters.

Me: I helped my uncle, Jack, off a horse.

You: i helped my uncle jack off a horse

Grammar matters.

"I'd rather cuddle than have sex, sweetie."

"I'd rather cuddle then have sex, sweetie."

Wasn't that posted on here somewhere?

You: i helped my uncle jack off a horse

O boy so funny. Yeah if you would have sent me an email with that sentence without the punctuation I would have been like OMG he's giving happy endings to animals. Whatever.

TSA Inconsistent

I was going through the TSA check line at SAN last week and witnessed an SWA pilot (not in uniform - with badge displayed) and her husband approach the screener, he checked her badge and told her she would have to go through the normal line and her husband was told to go through the "TSA Pre" line. I can't understand the reasoning it should have been the other way around. I guess the TSA consider a pilot out of uniform a risk???? or the real reason was the screen er has the power to piss off the professionals who have more clearances ( not to mention education) than they do - oh the power of it all
This is just another sample of the mentality of the TSA screeners.
