Re: TSA get their just deserts
I wish I had the balls to take this to the next level and kick those guys off any scheduled flights I operate.

Re: TSA get their just deserts
The TSA agents are just doing what they've been told to do, give them a break. Like the article says, it should be the Washington bureaucrats that are getting banned from places...

Re: TSA get their just deserts
Sorry guys,
Just a little perspective here, yes it should be the bureaucrats & politicians who created and support this nonsense who should be banned!
But lets also not take away all accountability on the agents themselves! They also lack tack and common sense!
Embarrassing and hurting elderly women who have suffered and survived breast cancer but because of Breast prostheses they're singled out and humiliated because they're unable to raise their arm fully for the invasive pat down!
Let's not forget singling out the lady last week, making here wait because she was told to calm down and stop shaking, oh she didn't bother listening to the passenger saying that she suffers from Parkinson's and that she is unable to stop shaking.
These are just a few of the more recent humiliations that our citizens have suffered because these people fail to listen, they fail to use any common sense and they refuse to think! They fail to treat people with dignity!
So I'm sorry these agents do deserve to be banned, they deserve to be singled out and reprimanded and they do deserve to be held accountable too!
Buts thats just my 2 cents from a common sense point of view

Re: TSA get their just deserts
I need a doctor to sign a note saying I have tourette's for my next trip.
Sorry, just like Seneca Guys, it only takes a few to ruin it for them all

Re: TSA get their just deserts
I think restaurants should let them in. They just need to abide by the new gudelines:)
1) All TSA agents that have been pre-identified must wait in line outside the restaurant for a minimum of 20 minutes while the wait staff share private jokes (best if in another language).
2) after entry into the food line the agents should be required to remove their shoes, jewlery, watches and jackets. If they show a valid ID badge then they must be removed and sent go to a seperate line. If they claim they are just going to work and are already late then they must submit to a 30 minute interview conducted by the sous chef.
3) agents must then wait while all little old ladies and any other infirmed individuals are issued plastic knives, forks and preferential seating
4) when it is their turn to be seated the agents must stand, legs wide apart, arms outstretched while as many patrons as are interested laugh and giggle at them
5) next they must be subjected a littany of obscure, inane, stupid questions like did they pack their own lunch bag
6) lastly they must submit to xrays that will cook their food beyond recognition
After all that then they get to place an order for food. Hopefully the cook will have already left for the day and the owner tells them to go pound salt.
Just my 2 cents. No offence intended.

All should click on the link at the top of the news page... Looks like it's a BS story.
Money, wish I had it...

Re: TSA get their just deserts
Just doing their jobs
I would LOVE to fly military aircraft, age, background, education I could, but I dont, because I would be the one dropping munitions on countries I dont feel we should be bombing. I wish I was of the mindset where I could say "heck I'm just doing my job, it's the politicians or whomever" unfortunately I cant pull that off, wish I could, life would be easier.
The just doing their jobs thing, doesn't cut it, part of the solution or part of the problem.beechnut wrote:Berzerker
