If there are any TSA professionals on the board, I'd be interested in hearing your opinion of this situation.

Now there is an oxyMORON!

PBR,

It was late and my brain was still a little fuzzy from all the binge drinking I did on my last trip so I forgot to put the "quotes" around the oxyMORON.

Still waiting for one of them to speak up.

About a year ago, a pax got on my plane and asked the No. 1 F/A if I was sober. I asked the F/A if I heard the pax correctly, and the F/A said yes. I grabbed my flight gear and walked off the flight and asked for a breathalizer (sp.) test. The flight was delayed until they could get replacement, and the pax. was removed and "educated" on the cost of and making false accusations about crew members drinking.

We've got to watch ourselves but also not put up with any of this BS. BTW, I was pay protected for the trip and got 1/2 hr. drug test pay.
