The TSA's latest brilliant idea

All of our employees at the flight school had to get badges last week. We had to sit through a class about the rules and how to challenge people inside the SIDA area even though we are not allowed access into the SIDA area. :banghead:
 
Please someone rein in the TSA. I realize they were Dubya's pet agency, but he's out now! Can't someone please stop them before they go completely over the edge?
 
TSA or
Terminally Stupid Asses


THey made my 3 year old niece go thru security again because she wanted to give her grandma (MY mama) 1 more hug. The TSA guys said Ya must go back to security back in the line. That poor thing was balling for her mother (my sister) and cried for hours afterwards. This event occured at KCRP in Texas. I mean these guys have no common sense.

I'm all for a federal agency that takes care of transportation security, but it needs to be done in a smart, well thought out manner.

Might as well give up now as that will never happen :D

I still can't believe you put those words in the same sentence. :banghead:
 
Taxation Spending Association

Here's the million dollar question...Do our airlines badges meet the requirements for GA access if we go fly dinks on our days off?

So while were on the topic of incompetence in government, i.e. the Tub Stackers of America, than boy do I have a story for yall. So about a month ago I'm non-revving(buddy pass) from IAH to DCA to visit my sister, I walk through security at IAH without incident and go on to DCA. Well 4 days later I'm on my way back home to IAH and lets just say that security did not go nearly as easy!
So after having waited in line for 20 min it was finally my turn to dance with the boys in blue. Knowing that I was wearing the exact same clothes, jacket and carrying the same luggage I gave little thought to setting my things on the X-Ray machine and walking through the medal detector. Well about 30 seconds after I walk through Medal detector my stuff still hasn't come out, pretty soon a minute goes by and still nothing! Next thing I know the blob behind the machine starts yelling for a supervisor; the guy might of well said "hay everyone come over and look at the shinny object I found" because I there must have been every tub stacker in 20 mile radius huddled around that monitor pointing first at the screen and then at me. You can image my embarrassment! Anyways the next thing I know some little piss ant tub stacker has all of my stuff and is telling me to come with him. At this point I am totally confused, all the while thinking "I know my bags have been with me the whole time and I know that everything I have with me now has gone through security at IAH". Next thing I know I'm in some little room and piss ant starts going through my leather bomber jacket like a crazy man, as he begins to inspect the small pockets that hold 2 pen's something clicks in my head and the following just bursts out of my mouth. "THERE IS A BULLET IN THERE".
2 weeks prior to that I had gone deer hunting with a friend and left a Win. 270 round in that pocket, but I might have well told that to a mute because tub stacker was 100% preoccupied with finding the gun that went with the bullet or as he called it "The Projectile". I had tried to explain to him that a 270 was a VERRY large rifle which I obviously did not have with me. Yeah it didn’t matter! Anyways, he finishes ripping apart my suitcase and having not found anything I'm sure he was disappointed. But as you will soon find out the contents of my brief case more than make up for his temporary disappoint.
For that you will have to wait for part 2 as I have some work that I need to finish before I leave for the day.

So, did they find any Medals??? You're packing all the Purple Heart, Silver Stars from your time in action??? You should just leave that stuff at home. Hang 'em on the wall....but don't pack 'em in your stuff! :cwm27:

Sorry, I just couldn't resist! It's amazing how ignorant the 'Fools in Blue' really are. I can't wait to hear the rest of the story regarding your briefcase. I bet you were hiding your rifle in there, weren't you. Bad boy! :tease:

I didn't even notice that, I guess that ghastly blue font got my attention away from it.
 
If they care so much then why don't they just use the required federal photo ID that we must have on us and match up the name with our license?

Really, is it that hard?

Wow, they really seem to be effectively shutting down GA; or at least trying to.

:yeahthat:
I don't get it, really. Where is this coming from? Why is it that GA has been deemed a threat? Did they all forget the 152 that quite literally bounced off of the glass of the high-rise down in FL? Seriously...
If you're going to go through the trouble of doing something with an aircraft, you're going to go big and take out as much as you can. GA just isn't going to cut it.

If you work for the TSA, then yes.
 
I had a student come in for training and as usual started the conversation to get to know them and their personality a little better.

Me," So what do you do for a living?"
Him," I'm a federal law enforcement officer!"
Me,"Really? DEA, FBI, Border Patrol?"
Him smuggly,"I'm a screener in the TSA!"

So did you tell him to turn around and walk out the door he came in?

Wow, that's choice! Guess it depends on how badly you need the student. But, think I'd be passing on this guy.

L-O-S-E-R-!
 
So I'm curious...does anyone who knows anything about GA think that this is actually a) practical and b) useful?

I'm glad they finally changed their uniforms though. I hated the idea of TSA people getting mistaken for pilots.

Don't worry the wastefull spending bill is giving them new uniforms again.

My wife has had water in her carry-on bags three times within a year and TSA never recognized that they were there. This happening in ATL & BNA. Funny.

LOL, the stuff they miss and what they question is amazing. They usually question my why I have a big stapler (Arrow P22) in my flight bag. The agent running the belt freaks out and calls a stupidvisor.
