It was almost like Stockholm Syndrome.. then it passed…
Monday, July 2nd, 2012Something happened this morning that I did not expect.
I felt sympathy for the TSA agents running us through our cavity search the security checkpoint at O’Hare.
I am by no means a frequent flier, or airport saavy.
I can, hovever, follow basic instrctions like “put all your metal items in the bin”
Apparently there are a lot of fucktards flying the friendly skies this morning.
I couldn’t do that job. I have too low of a stupidity tolerance.
Actually, fuck that. Waiting a few extra minutes is worth making the travel gestapo get annoyed.
Fuck ‘em.
I should have worn my tinfoil speedo.
I call the travelers that you describe as “amateur fliers”. They don’t know to take their shoes off and laptops out of the bag. Yes, all metal includes your pie plate sized cowboy belt buckle and ring of keys on your belt. I am patient with the elderly.
The foil inside a Trident gum pack will set off the metal detector every time.
Most TSA agents are just doing a job although there are some with a chip on their shoulder too. They have a BADGE!!!! I quit using my concealed carry license as a travel ID because there seemed to be a strong correlation between using that and later being the ‘random’ dude that gets pulled aside for additional TSA groping.
