If you are at an airport where they have implemented new heightened security, when you hand them your boarding pass and ID, they ask you your name and destination.

That makes me feel so much safer. Thank you TSA [sarcasm]

Thanks for the heads up, I'll try and remember both when I'm at the airport on Monday.

Just before you board, put a diaper on your head and call all the TSA workers infidel dogs. They love that kind of light hearted banter with passengers.

You put a *greased naked woman* on all fours with a dog collar around her neck, and a leash, and a man's arm extended out up to here, holding onto the leash, and pushing a black glove in her face to sniff it. You don't find that offensive? You don't find that sexist?

What's wrong with being sexy?

This is *1982*, Bobbi, c'mon!

That's *right*, it's 1982! Get out of the '60s. We don't have this mentality anymore.

Well, you should have seen the cover they *wanted* to do! It wasn't a glove, believe me.

You know, if we were serious and we said, ‘Yes, she should be forced to smell the glove,’ then you’d have a point, but it’s all a joke.

It is and it isn’t. She should be made to smell it, but...

But not, you know, over and over.

As a frequent flyer, what bothers me the most is the inconsistencies with TSA procedures that still exist today from airport to airport. I have no issue if they ask me a question before security. I would rather they continue to be more concientious with regard to personal screening and carry-on xray screening.

BTW... Above was Fran Drescher's best role. 🤥

One of my favorites is when they do an extra bag check at the gate. On my outbound, my flight was selected and had four TSA agents there.

Two agents stood and watched. Two agents checked bags. I stood so my computer bag would be real easy to check. It has four zippered compartments. They checked one zipper and moved on.

I've noticed that they have started that "random" practice again. I can remember back to earlier last decade when that was commonplace. You would see a notation on your boarding pass and be able to prep for the search.

Book a one-way ticket and it was a guarantee!

I've never been too impressed with the collective intelligence of TSA agents.

I saw one TSA guy the other day put a box (bag) on our belt, that had about 8 large neon colored stickers pointing "This Way Up", with large black market hand writing, Fragile all over the box & This Way Up.

Well, smart-assed 60 y/o dude w/ two foot long braids down his back & bi-vocals, who looks silly in my opinion, put the box upside down. I stopped the belt & righted the box & asked him if he could read. Moron.

Yesterday, I saw the same moron in question, giving a janitor one our RON kits. Remain Over Night are little bags with a t-shirt, tooth brush, razor, etc,

I reported it, as being theft, but we'll see if anything happens. I sorta doubt it, though.

Be careful of retribution.
