Somebody Should Be Fired!
This article by Ken Schram of KOMOTV Seattle:
I don't think things can get more screwed up with airport security. This isn't about how investigators were able to smuggle liquid explosives and detonators past TSA screeners earlier this year. It's about the atrocious treatment endured by some Fort Lewis soldiers who were escorting the remains of a colleague home to Virginia earlier this month. Brief background: On the tarmac, an honor guard had been formed by Port of Seattle Police, airport fire and rescue and military personnel as the soldier's body was placed on the plane. A police officer then took the escort soldiers up to security. The TSA screener checked everyone's ID, including the police officer, and then had the soldiers go through the metal detectors. Their combat ribbons set off the alarms. So what does the TSA screener do? He has the soldiers put down the American flag they are carrying and strip off their uniforms - in front of everyone - down to their tee shirts, pants and socks. Will someone please tell me what the hell is wrong with these people? How does some inept, insensitive idiot with the IQ of room temperature even get a TSA job? That TSA screener should have his ass fired. And those soldiers deserve at least an apology.

Do a Google search for "honor guard" and "tsa" and it looks this has happened many times before. I checked it out on www.snopes.com and I didn't see anything.

Burger Flippers!
Most of these TSA people were flippin' burgers or unemployed before 9-11. Now they have POWER! No more.."do you want fries with that". It's, "I've got power and you're gonna pay". Gee, didn't most of us know when the "guvmint" took over, the system would run smooth as silk. Yeah, right. Why I drive almost everywhere.
