It loving sucks. gently caress the TSA. When the terrorists come for us it will be packing explosives into glucose monitors and underneath the seat cushions of stroke victims.

The weirdest part is how insanely random it is. It would be like if every 3 times you went to the grocery store the cashier berated you and threatened to arrest you for bagging peaches wrong. Then you go to the store in another town and they don’t give a poo poo about peaches at all. On Mondays you have to wear shoes and on Tuesdays you can’t. “Leave all the laptops in the bags but take out all electronics”

It’s funny to watch when the lines get completely deadlocked and you watch in real time as the TSA jettisons literally every single rule and just waves people through until the lines are short again.

What an insane hill to die on.
In my experience, the rules change drastically depending on what airport you fly out of

Like I've had my home airport always make people take laptops out of their bags, but more than half the time if I fly out of another airport they just let you leave all of that in.

It also pisses me off that 20+ years later, we are still taking off our shoes because of one guy trying to light his shoe on fire.

and yes, as mentioned, this is all a waste of time because the TSA agents never catch the real weapons (which aren't the liquids in your bag or baby formula or whatever).

They don't actually do this and this is not why the TSA exists. If you think that you are genuinely a rube.

They solved the problem by putting locks on the cockpit doors. 9/11 was fixed. Groping people and making them show feet before they can get on a plane has nothing to do with safety.

It was funny telling my coworkers that the spinny machine you walk through let's them see all of you. They didn't realize they could see your dick and all.

I can see why Madden took a bus everywhere.

I thought they updated the dick viewer software to display your contraband on a generic 3D body model. I remember the TSA agents were saving body scans of nice tits and big dicks so they made that change.

Wouldn’t surprise me if there still unpatched dick viewers out there though.

I’m not trying to punch down on the average TSA worker but I’m certainly not going to applaud them for their “labor” either.

it's so loving funny that we did 100% 'fix' 9/11 by just making cockpits into little fortresses and from my friend who's a pilot's experiences it seems to work well and most everyone involved agrees 'yep, this'll keep us safe from either some idiot getting drunk and rowdy or an actual terrorist attack, good fix', but then we also had to dump a pile of 'and also we'll give the dumbest people in your city no training and full authority to just destroy your life if you don't let them shove a magnetic wand up your rear end' because 'just make the cockpit secure' didn't line enough pockets.

how the gently caress is it punching down? if you're in the airport, they can gently caress your life up on a whim

The only time I have ever been sexually harassed by a woman it was a lady TSA agent at the Detroit airport. I used to have to fly out of there like every other week for a year, and our schedules just lined up.

First time she looks at my ID, then me, just says “You’re cute” in the most perverse voice I’ve ever heard from a woman.

From there on out it was like “oh it’s my white boy again?” Or “sweetie I would drive you home” or the like whenever I saw her. But she was a big fine and it was always incredibly flattering because I’m a dude and there wasn’t even the hint in my mind that I was in danger, despite the fact that she coulda probably thrown me through a wall.

Anyway that’s my TSA story.

It wasn't a lack of a TSA that let 9/11 happen even thought we had intelligence reports about possible attacks, it was the Bush admin not caring and basically wanting something as an excuse to go to war. The TSA basically exists as pure theatre to justify its own existence.

My exciting TSA story is the time I decided to take some of my late grandfather's old WW2 bullets back home with me and, being a very intelligent person, notify the TSA about this (while in line before going through the metal detector). I think my reasoning at the time was "this might be a problem, so I should ask."

After a bunch of stuff ending with me getting on the plane home with a to-be-determined court date back in Boston (where my grandparents lived), the police (or whatever agency it was) guy sends a message to the plane telling me to come meet with him off of the plane. So I leave the plane and he proceeds to notify me that actually I'm fine and wouldn't have to go to a court date because the bullets in question were inert, and apparently this makes them not-illegal. I missed the flight because of this, but it was preferable to the alternative.
