How many TSA personnel does it take to secure our airports? 18 per security lane apparently because that's how many there were tonight as I crossed through the bridge/A Concourse security tonight on the way to my flight at DIA. One lane open, 18 personnel. No joke...simply ridiculous.

-2 to check tickets and IDs
-1 to watch 2 check tickets and IDs
-1 to run the xray
-4 to watch guy run xray
-1 to collect buckets
-3 to run naked scanner
-2 to watch people walk through metal detector.
-and 4 rovers to make sure everything is running as slow as possible.

Ugh.

And my 9:15 flight has been delayed an hour. I can see my plane 50 ft away so who knows why it's delayed. Although my experience tells me that IF the plane is here and IF they tell you it is in fact delayed THEN it's a maintenance problem. Damn. Not getting to Portland until after Midnight for sure.

Truly absurd!

However, just imagine how much safer we are now! [Mad]

Double or even triple that once they unionize.

One guy did come up to another TSA lady and asked her "have you been here 30 minutes". She said "yes" and he told her to go take a break. Apparently they're not allowed to stand more than 30 minutes. Wow.

And I was wrong about the delay. They have no crew...oops.

I'm writing a research paper indirectly on the TSA.
-Huh, what? No of course I won't tell you what it says. do your own damn research! [Rant1]


Let's just say what I've found out isn't pretty...

If you don't want to tell us, then stop writing nonsense on the thread and go finish that PAPER!!!

The very best research, is the kind that you don't share with anyone. Are you even going to turn it in when you're done, or just crumple it up and burn it in front of the class on the due date?

You don't need a crew - fly it yourself. How hard can it be....Sniper7 does it?![Sofa]

The only bad thing about Colorado. Not a single DD in the entire state. If someone knows of a Dunky in CO, please share. Starbucks coffee sucks compared to
Dunky Donuts.

You don't go to coffee for coffee, thats just a cover so people feel less bad about the milk shakes they sell.

I have a hunch TSA has a plan-

its like this-
They gets all kinds of stupid, like 4 TSA agents to pat you down naked before you can buy your ticket online, and then people will wise up and create sensible (read:useful) flight safety measures, like El Al's or some such.

Damn...it's been way too long since our last "Fuck TSA" thread. I feel better now.

I'd rather go hungry than work for that sorry-ass organization.

I find the TSA varies from super polite to rude inbred idiot.

I fly mostly DIA to LAX but like I say they vary.

Last week I managed to leave my watch in the scanner in LAX and they very nicely bagged it and labeled it. I realised 30mins later (flight delay) and went back to get it. They even joked with me about leaving it.

In my opinion it could have easily 'disappeared' but I got it back, sweet.

lmao! It's about pets and airport screening - lame I know, but my teacher wanted a new angle to the subject other than body scanners - I'll post it up as soon as I'm done with it, and before I ritually sacrifice it in front of my class! [ROFL1]

Yeah I'm not too interested in the porn industry either. Great job for perverts and pedophiles though.[Rant2]

...and liberals.

Gross thoughts of the day!

Do gay guys pretend to have WMD shoved up their ass so they can have a free anal probe by the TSA? :eek:

Do gay guys who work for the TSA volunteer to do the anal probes? :eek:

So not only do you get 'violated', it's a gay guy that violates you!

Lies! There used to be one in Aurora, but its now a Baskin Robins. :( Google says Dunkin Donuts (PERMANENTLY CLOSED) as if to taunt you.

Dunky Donuts.

There are 3 in Co. Springs. Sometimes I make excuses just to go. [Tooth]
