TSA parody

[7574EVER]

Hey all...Long time lurker but very new poster here. In the past I've just enjoyed sitting back and witnessing the chaos that is flightinfo.com. Anyway, I just took my last final on Thursday and am officially out of college. That being said, I'm just getting things in order and applying shortly (AE being my #1 choice). So, I'm sure you all will be seeing a lot more posts from me.

Anywho, I heard this TSA parody on the radio this morning and thought it was amusing. I figured that at least a few of you would get a laugh.

***I know that I'm new here but PLEASE no bashing me for my career choice. I see enough of it here. I'm well aware that this industry comes with a lot of crap; but it's been my "little boy dream". If it takes too much of a toll on my life I'll have no problem getting up and leaving in the future. At least , however, I'll be able to die happy knowing that I met my goal in life.

Once upon a time, the TSA was rightfully the punchline of many jokes in the crew room, late night talk shows and morning radio programs.

Now, it's far beyond funny. Once you get online what you see on a day to day basis will be far more sinister than that.
It's truly one of, if not the most, frightening organization ever created by the US government. Your college degree and 10 year background check will be overridden by a cluster of gangbangers who couldn't pass the same check you just did as a newhire.
You will be searched and inconvienienced and generally treated like Al Qaeda merely because the word "Crew" appears on your ID. You will surrender your toothpaste to these idiots, even though you are not in uniform yet still posess the BADGE you had to pass the background check to get.
While this is happening, a TSA flunkie will pass by you dragging a small rollerboard or perhaps a backpack, laughing at his buddies at the checkpoint as he unhooks the tensabarrier and drags his stuff past the magneometer.

You will have one of these same flunkies board your aircraft and decide for themselves wether you have complied with regulations, even though THEY have no specific training on the aircraft you just spent a month and a half getting qualified on.

This joke of an agency will be directly responsible for the next 9/11. I'll lay $100 on it being an inside job.

Once you are past that, flying's a blast! Just don't answer your phone on your days off!
