Title: Threatened by the TSA....
Post by: bkg on December 17, 2009, 04:18:54 PM
FU TSA. if you spill my shit on the floor because you can't manage your job, pufing out your chest and telling me i'm going to "make (your) list for more screening detailed in the future" when I try to pick up YOUR mess will not be received with kindness. Your entire staff WATCHED while shit flew everywhere and refused to acknowledge that they needed to stop the belt because there was no where for luggage and bins to go... Self important a-holes like you can kiss my ass.

I almost shoved my freshly shined size 11 up his ass. don't think my boss would have liked the "can I expense bail?" phone call..

My wife was a lead TSA screener at the local airport until about 5 months ago.

Her assessment of most of her co-workers is that they were a bunch of power hungry lazy bastards.

Typical renta-cop assholes.

They're just taking their frustrations about being too stupid , fat or lazy to be a real cop out on the public.

That's pretty bad.  Even minimum-wage TB-carrying illegal alien dishwashers knows to stop when the counter gets backed up. 

That's just sad.  What's worse, you can't do anything about it. :censored:

That was the most pathetic experience I've had. I almost called the supervisor to report the threat. All of the agents sat there and watches our stuff pile up and hit the floor. They just sat and stared. One person at least picked up some stuff and put it in the bin... on the floor.

Not a single apology. Just the threat. He wasn't willing to help pick anything up, either, but didn't want me picking it up for myself. Moron.

LOL Deb!

The last time I went down to visit BEG, I was with my 10 year old daughter. I just don't fly often, maybe once a year or so. I was attempting to smuggle contraband in my carry on. Surely you don't think I can travel without my products?

Anyway, the alarms went off. Sophia went through the line first and she was greeted by a really handsome TSA agent who asked if the bag was hers. She said, "nope, it's my mom's". He gave me a sideways look and then looked back at her and said "I'm going to have to teach your mom a lesson". Strip search?  :hyper: Well, no, not today. So I went to his "table" where he gingerly moved my lacy underthings to get to the "goods". He examined every fl. oz of every shampoo, lotion, and liquid. He threw most of it away, but he let me "keep" some of my Victoria Secret lotions which were just on the border of being legal.

Then I got the lecture and I think he enjoyed dominating me.... I sort of enjoyed being dominated by another person for once, truth be told.   :lmao:

Ugh. That sucks. Our kiddo flies as an unaccompanied minor several times a year. TSA just LOVES hassling me because I get a gate pass to walk him through but I'm not flying. I get pulled out of the line 80% of the time.

I get pulled out too almost every single time.

I just tell them to search me....and get it over with. It's easier than taking one thing at a time off.

This last trip they( a woman in very sturdy shoes :whatever: ) told me to take off my watch and bracelet. I wear a gold bangle all the time that M gave me for my birthday in '94. I don't leave the house without it.

I agreed to take the bracelet off, but refused to take my watch off. It didn't beep when I went through. They searched my bag though.....I was really embarassed, I had stuck a full bottle of water in without thinking. The seal wasn't even broken. The man who did it actually looked apologetic....he said I'm sorry ma'am but this is against the rules....and said it very nicely!! I said I am so sorry - I didn't even think about it when I stuck it in there. He then told me to have a safe trip.... :-)

It's never the same thing...usually it's the underwire in my bra...or the wires in my face....or absolutely nothing.

M says it's the red hair...... :shucks:

I find it ironic that the "evil" liquids that are forbidden end up in large trash cans at the security checkpoints to sit all day until some janitor removes them.

They don't make you take your shoes off in Irsael either. I thought it was really interesting to travel there over the summer and compare the difference.

Yeah, I have often wondered what happens to all that stuff.

Since 9/11....I have gone throught checkpoints in Germany, Italy, Greece, Ireland, and St Croix.

The most difficult one was St Croix.

The most difficult one of the European?.....Atlanta Hartsfield as I came home.

I have had nothing but top class service from the TSA. Friendly & polite all the way.

I have seen alot of people get shitty with the TSA. The last time I was leaving the Vegas airport, the TSA guard was saying "go all the way down" and everyone was still trying to go to the shortest line...boy were they pissed when they found out the line was short due to the x-ray being broke.  :lmao: But then all this confusion made a huge mess, people trying to cut into line, etc...

Working with the public is not always fun.

For the most part....I haven't had anyone be rude to me.

Because I almost always get "beeped"....I wish the would just wand me instead of telling me to take off one thing at a time and keep walking through the arch.....which is why I usually just tell them...Just wand me, it will be easier and quicker for both of us.

The thing that bothers me the most about the TSA is when they go through my bags. I want them to have gloves on...always....I don't want you pawing through my clean undies with your bare hands....ick!

I also really wish they would put clean ones on each time. I know that's not practical but you just don't know what was in the previous bag those hands wandered through...ewwww.

I look at it this way....they are doing their job...I have nothing to hide....so do whatever they have to do....just be quick about it....and I'm not being rude or impolite to them and I expect them to not be rude or impolite to me.

Exactly.

I'm really weird about sharing some stuff. I won't share makeup under any circumstances and I really don't like to share clothes. I would give you the shirt off my back if you needed it....but chances are I wouldn't loan it to you. My runnin' buddy is the only person I will share clothes with and not have a problem with it.

Having a stranger paw through my clothes just makes my insides curl up in a most unpleasant way.

It's especially bad when you consider those hands have probably just pawed through some other person's dirty underwear..

In all fairness to the TSA - I didn't have any issues with them while I was in the US. I don't set off metal detectors and they've never bothered to physically search any of my carry on baggage.

Take the laptop out of the bag - put all the stuff in pockets in the tray along with the belt buckle - remove shoes and walk through. No problems.

I *did* get a secondary search in Vegas of my checked baggage - which was only an xray. They didn't even bother to open it up.

So who is actually watching the EX-ray when stuff goes flowing through.?

You can hire people, put them in a uniform, show them a dozen films on securirty and pay them minimum wage.  

After 8 mind numbing hours the workers are  tired and want to go home.  

Want to get past the intrusive stuff, go through at the time about one hour before shift change.

If you are a bad guy or woman with bombs or contraband, that is the time to to just sail through any  stop points.

Unfortunately , most problerms are discoverd by accident.   A new guy on the job, one that has not been become bain dead from  looking at what is normal to say a 20 year old with denture cream in their carry on bag.

Time for ligthts out, the tap dancer is still doin his thing and stretching  in the hall.

Me, I am trying to make sence out out of why  I am the only person here that knows I am nuts and evryone else  is told they are normal.

Vesta, they change out on the x-ray on a pretty regular basis (every 30 minutes in fact).  It's not like they sit there for 8 hours straight.  They also make a lot better than minimum wage.
