I applaud the TSA.

[trumad]

Yeah---I know--- get the popcorn out and the flack jacket on.... ahhh that's OK---been here to long to run from controversy.

This is how I see the TSA.

I see them as a bunch of underpaid workers with a thankless job. I see them as a less than perfect organization that has made plenty of mistakes---patting down 6 year old kids, etc....

But I also see them as doing the best they can to keep my plane from blowing up in mid-flight or preventing some douchebag who thinks he can carry a concealed weapon on board.

WHAT---NO MORE PEANUTS, WELL FUCK YOU, WHAT DO YOU THINK OF MY GLOCK 9MM!!!

I lot of members her on DU---probably a majority-----cannot stand the TSA.

I'm a Diamond member with Delta---meaning I fly over 125,000 a year-----and I have to tell you.... I can't remember seeing a significant incident with the TSA in all my flying days.

Does it happen---you bet---are the X-Ray machines a huge concern, you bet. Are there some TSA agents who act like assholes---you bet....

Are the majority of everyday Agents who work the Security lines bad people??? ---- NO--not even close--- they simply are Middle class people just like you and me who are trying to live the Broken American dream.

Now---off to the airport....see ya.
