The idiocy of TSA knows no bounds

Every time I fly I wonder if there’s some sort of idiot contest going on at TSA.

Today I saw that they’ve broken out dudes on bicycles. I can’t imagine anything less useful in any sort of chase situation in a crowded airport with people and bags all over the place than a bicycle.

Is this because all of them are such fatties they’d have no chance on foot? Weaving out of people and trying to turn and brake and accelerate on a bicycle in an airport seems like the dumbest thing ever. What am I missing?

It's all theater and does virtually nothing to increase the security and safety of air travel.

Surprisingly decent movie

New movie on Netflix Carry On paints them as heroes rather than authoritarian wannabes and is a message to be nicer to them, they’re just doing their job

I'll be flying for the first time in twenty years in February. I'm just hoping some chick who looks like an East German weightlifter doesn't snap on a rubber glove and ask me to step into an inspection room.

yep. I have seen people get to the gate with the wrong ticket. Now, how is that supposed to happen if we’re checking tickets at Security ?

They exist to get you to the airport sooner so you have to spend more money

I wish all the airports would get the new scanners so I can stop pulling my electronics out.

The inconsistencies between airports is frustrating.

“SHOES ON BELT, LAPTOPS OUT OF YOUR BAG”.

Clowns.

“Sir we need to inspect your bag. The camera shows a bottle of water”.

I personally like being treated like cattle after paying hundreds of dollars to get on a two hour bus.

No need to worry about that. She'll look like the Netflix version of an East German weight lifter.

The inconsistency paired with aggressive instruction is always fun.

Has that “what are you, an idiot?” Vibe going at the checkpoint when you do what the last agent instructed
