  After doing a little traveling last month both domestically & internationally, I'd like to go on record here to say that the TSA humans, specifically the checked luggage "inspection" folks, are most definitely not my favorite persons.

 

 Seems they got their terms a little mixed up and replaced inspection with destruction.

 

Really frustrating.

I'm under the firm belief that all public employees should have to wait tables for 3 months as a prerequisite.  you'll truly learn hospitality after trying to pay ur rent based on tips generated solely from being humble and courteous.

Fortunately I haven't had a bad experience yet...yet

TSA has updated the Notice of Baggage Inspection tag text to closer match reality.

NOTICE OF BAGGAGE INSPECTION

 

 In an effort to make your travel even more of a PIA, the Transportation Security Administration will “inspect” (and we use this term loosely)  all checked baggage.  As part of this process, some bags are opened and physically “inspected”. Your bag was among those selected for physical “inspection” ( again, our definition of this term may be slightly different from that of those who use English as their primary language).  During the “inspection”, your bag and its contents have been searched for prohibited items.  We didn’t find any nor were we actually looking, but we did have fun.

During this process, Magilla Gorilla drop kicked your bag cross most of the facility after which the contents of your bag were set on fire and then used to wipe up Magilla’s hairy butt. At the completion of the “inspection”, the contents (or what was left of them) were returned to your bag; but not before Magilla’s little baby sister left you a little present.  

If the TSA screener was unable to open your bag for inspection because it was locked, the screener may have been forced to break the locks on your bag. TSA will say publically that we sincerely regret having to do this, however we know that TSA is somehow not liable for damage to your locks resulting from this necessary security precaution, so you’ll simply have to get over it.

For packing tips and suggestions on how to secure your baggage during your next trip, please visit: ww.tsa.gov or just take an alternate mode of transportation. Btw – don’t forget to pack a few bananas for Magilla.  He works up quite an appetite trashing your belongings.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation. If you have questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to contact the TSA Contact Center.

As a frequent flyer, I have to say every airport is a bit different.  Some are very nice...Houston Hobby.  Others are just irritated you are there having to make them work...LAX.  With that said, I have seen them tell me my TSA issued TWIC card wasn't valid since they had never seen one(but issued by them), had them tell me I must check my 8" crimping tool but it was okay to go on board with 30ft of sevenstrand wire.  I could probably do more damage with the wire then the crimping tool, just saying.  I did find a nice TSA agent in New Orleans doing baggage check that did laugh when she asked what was in my rod tube.  I simply stated "its a missle" to which she replied with a smile "no it's not".  So like all government jobs, there are some that truly are there to be of assistance and helpful while others are just miserable and unhappy that they have to show up for work to get paid.

Then there's that awkward moment when you ask "so do you wanna hit up the food court or should I get your number and call you later?"

Is that considered cheating on your wife, I mean, if you enjoyed it?

Only if it's in the same zip code

What goes on at TSA stays at TSA.

I will apologetically accept responsibility for these, despite knowing better, I did respond to the first one.

 

So, how long have you guys been training all the TSA Agents ?

I'm more concerned why Raider is working for the TSA. Did they run out of electricity in Birmingham?

It seems to always devolve into poopy humor and then a Raider reference then finally a Raider appearance.
