TSA Ramp Decoys
- Thread starter N422NM
- Start date
Back in the 727 days, there was a inspector that was notorious for coming up the aft airstairs during passenger boarding, going into the lavatory and waiting until boarding was almost done to flash his badge, shut the operation down and counsel the crew on security and inquire why no one noticed an extra passenger.
Tell him you think of D.B. Cooper as a hero ?
For what it's worth, I fired off a letter to my senate and congressional delegation voicing my concerns about 'TSA gone wild.'

Dear god. What's next? TSA raiding my frig at home?
TSA: "Ah ha! This is an illegal use of a toiletries bag! We'll have to take this."
Me: "WTF? It's a gallon size ziploc bag with three pieces of salmon in it!"
TSA: "No, this is a toiletries bag. We're from the government, we know."
Me: "Fine. Whatever. You guys are morons."
TSA: "What did you call us? Give us your license. We think you're a threat. If you want to appeal you can contact....uh....us."

Does it seem to anyone else like the TSA is trying to shift a lot of responsibility for security over to employees? I mean, if they did their job and secured the airport, would there be any need for me to risk infection by getting my hands blue on the preflight?
I'm trained and paid to fly a plane, not be a cop. When I'm outside the plane, I'm usually preflighting, and I need to be focusing on that rather than trying to see if the fueler at the next gate has his badge properly displayed. Why doesn't the TSA just do their freaking job and keep bad guys out of the airport in the first place instead of trying to get us to do their job for them?

Exactly. TSA is all smoke and mirrors.
It takes 7 TSA agents to man the one xray belt and magnatometer at KFMN or KDRO...oh that's right, 2 are working, the other 5 are standing behind them looking at magazines....

Oh one more thing about my new job, no SIDA badge! and no TSA!
I would LOVE to see the TSA challenge my lack of a SIDA badge while fueling Colgan at BHB!
There are several airports that do not have a SIDA program that see 121 air carriers, some even see jets.

Ok okay..sorry i couldnt stop giggling when i thought about this.
When the official tells you "hey, i dont have a SIDA badge come with me right now, why didnt you challenge me?" i'd go running towards him full speed and knock him on to ground and restrain him and say OMG YOU'RE A POSSIBLE THREAT!!!! HELP HELP!!!
Maybe that'll teach them a lesson. I bet you one too many "checks" (not badges, but body) and they'll stop with the idea! Hahahahhaha

Well, it still is an individual employee's responsibility to ensure security, but we're needlessly targeted to give the public the perception that they're actually making flying safer.
A lady, a few years ago, when I was shoeless, beltless and getting wanted in uniform even said, "Wow, if they're checking the pilots that closely, you know we're safe!"
Uhh, no.

One day, when the TSA gives me crap I want to ask them point blank, "Do you honestly think I'm going to hijack myself? And if I really wanted to, don't you think that lobbing the captains head off with the crash axe and crashing the plane would be more effective than trying to strangle him with my belt. Speaking of, can I have my belt back?"

While I definitely agree w/ your point about burning in. I think I'd use the crash axe to lop of the Capt.'s head.
And then maybe I'd lob it into the cabin w/ said axe. 
DOWN W/ THE TSA!

Lob (tennis)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A lob in tennis is hitting the ball high and deep into the opponent's court. It can be used as an offensive or defensive weapon depending on the situation.
Lopping
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lopping, also known as tree lopping and topping, is the practice of cutting trunks and branches of a tree in an attempt to contain the tree's size or shape. Lopping is differentiated from other styles of pruning by where the cuts are made. When a tree is lopped, the cuts are made internodally, or not at branch unions and collars at the correct angles, leaving a piece of protruding timber that is called a stub.

I went through my first bypass security screening yesterday. There are still a few airports out there where we can go through operations to get to the airplane. Wouldn't you know it, there were 6 TSA agents waiting by the bag sort to pat us/wand us down. The funny thing (ok, not so funny) is that EVERY TIME a ramper went by they had to get screened. I watched the same ramper get screened 4 times while they went in and out of ops, in about a 15 minute period.
