In the interest of seeing both sides ...


 T.S.A. Now Finds Itself on the Defensive - This Land - NYTimes.com 

Decent article on airport security, for those of you who might think that I'm crazily anti-TSA. If all security could sound this competent, I might be more patient with them. Unfortunately I rarely see this level of professionalism. I get agents who snap at you when you're polite, and agents who mumble and roll their eyes when you skip one of the 10,000 different things to remember going through security . And no one who looks alert for suspicious behavior, I just see people who look like they're counting down until quitting time.

End rant.

  2. Yeah, I agree. The only ones who do look competent/awake to me aren't even manning the security scanners - they're patrolling the line itself. Usually they're unnecessarily grumpy and I don't understand why, since for the most part, people aren't actually in a bad mood when they fly until they get in the security line and see how grumpy everyone else is.
