Big deal!!!

[BIGNASTY]

I cant believe that this guy after all that has happened to him is worried about a little search. I have NO PROBLEM with what ever they want to do (EXCEPT OPEN CAVITY BODY SEARCH unless its a good looking gal doing it ) to make my flight SAFE. IF this bothers him to have to go the extra and remove a leg or both he is in for LONG LONG ROW TO HOE.

I don't fly. PERIOD. But I can't imagine it would bother to me to be searched if it means the flight will be more secure.

Big,
It may not have been so much about the search; but how it was asked and how they did the search? I have dealt with air line screeners before and some of them I would like to take out back and ____. Others treat the air line passenger as a person and I have no issues with them they are just doing their job.

I agree to a point about how its asked. Some could be a little better at the job than they are. Before all the 911 problems we flew and they would take the metal detector and run it by me JUST ABOUT ANYPLACE!!!! and it would go off my knees,wrist, chest,right arm,shoulder all have metal parts in them they took me in another room and used what they use now to look I didnt care as long as we weren't going to some place that we didnt want to go with some HE-BA WHO-BA HA-BA with a box cutter.

IM NOT SAYING YA OR NAY on your post here. But from Prior experience with TSA people dropping fuel at LAX a few times a day for about a month. They would say anything to get out of looking like they are the bad guys. They were suppose to check my ID EVERYTIME they did for about 3 or 4 times after that THEY WOULDNT GET OUT OF THE CHAIR IN THE AIRCONDITIONED SHACK unless it was ON FIRE!!! One time I held up a credit card and they just waved me on thru



Dont know if you remember when the TSA and TWIX security checks were implemented but they didnt hire by the MOST QUALIFIED. I PERSONALY KNOW VETREANS that applied for the jobs at Ontario Air Port that were TRUNED DOWN and a person of ******* was hired with FAR LESS experience than the Veteran.

I'm not saying they are innocent. I just saw the information and thought I would put it out for those interested.
I agree, they aren't always the most active people, or the friendliest.

It really is a joke in how fair majority of them act. A couple of weeks ago while coming through security at Atlanta airport, once I got on the back side waiting on my carry one I got to looking at the screeners watching the video monitors, or maybe I should say the ones whose job was to watch the monitors to find the contra- band. Four different lines of screeners where all standing up and people watching and talking about the clothes they where wearing, all while the carry one items kept rolling past. So ask your self do you feel safe. I had I reported it I am sure I would have had to sign my name somewhere, and since I fly regularly the chance that I would be singled out at security next time helped me keep my mouth shut.
