Ah the "TSA experts"...only in this country can you one day be on the front line in the fight against international terrorism, where JUST the day before you were inquiring "would you like fries with that order?"
I travel a LOT and still find that having to take my shoes off to walk through the scanner is degrading...I HATE it, and above anything else it is a complete waste of time and not even remotely meaningful...I have to go to my happy place and not even make eye contact otherwise I am worried I will say something eloquently smart (a$$) and sarcastic which will go so far over the heads of the "TSA experts" that I (blonde, blue-eyed, aging and with an English accent) would be instantly perceived as a terrorist threat.
I am chairman of a company and regularly travel with my CEO and he knows, with great amusement, that he has to 'guard me' through airport security so I don't get so pi$$ed off that I say something to the knuckleheaded clods who are our "TSA experts"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It always seems to take at least one scotch to calm me down...
I DO feel SO MUCH MORE SECURE though when I have my TOENAIL CLIPPERS confiscated in case I want to clip my way through the cockpit cabin door to stab the pilot with my 1 inch long nail file, or have to leave my large toothpaste tube behind in case I squeeze it out in the air marshals lap!
AND...since they had time to get these two people to pose for their photographs, WHY DIDN'T THEY ******* ARREST THEM THEN AND THERE?
