The base security guy who took my info over the phone for the background check said it probably was OK, but since it's been since 1996 and expires in 2020, he thought it wouldn't hurt to go ahead and get a current pass. I should have asked the guard at the gate.

Do we really want the nation's air security left up to people as reliable as waiters, janitors, and restaurant bus-boys? <br /><br />Get rid of the TSA altogether and let each airport hire private security.

I certainly felt the perverse attraction of the bureaucratic ability to mess with our supposed customer/employers. I had to get away before I even got another job; I could just imaging myself there in 30 years!<br /><br />The TSA seem to be thoroughly enjoying their power position.

The former is criminal as the system will ruin her if it hasn't already. Worse yet is what choice did you have?Davidnoreply@blogger.com
