Thanks TSA

Thanks, TSA

The TSA has been falsely reviled.  Hours of waiting, they say.  Intrusive searches.  Profiling. Pat downs.

And yet, I just sailed through JFK with 10 other people in my group, all together, in about 20 minutes.

No one was profiled or patted.  No one detained or disrobed. 

Thank you TSA.

I had what I think was a brilliant idea of putting my shoes in my bag when I took out the computer. I stuck my belt in too, and only needed two bins.

I looked behind me—shoes in a bin, computer, wallet, keys. Four bins or more per person.  Amateurs.

I decided then and there that there are two kinds of people- people who use two bins or fewer, and those who use an excessive number of bins.                                                                                  

You can tell so much about a person by the number of bins they use.

If the lines are slow, I blame the multi bin people.

I think the TSA searches them more—they are the ones who are profiled.

And rightly so—anyone with such disregard for the line behind to shove five nearly empty bins through the scanner is probably a sociopath.
