Default TSA strikes again!

As I was being pushed back yesterday the tug driver told the captain and I that he was in deep ****** with the TSA. There was a CRJ200 with its door closed sitting waiting for a crew on the ramp on a busy Thursday morning at D concourse. Apparently the TSA violated him, and the company for this, as it posed a security risk. They are going after him and the company for a $15k fine! Anyone who has been to ATL during the 8am to 10am rush knows the rampers are running around hectic and I sincerely doubt the aircraft's security was ever an issue. Obviously I don't know all the details but it still seems ridiculous! Just my 2 cents...

I'm confused as to what the problem was. A CRJ200 with the door closed on the ramp. There are like 10 out there right now with the doors closed sitting. Maybe I should go out and open the doors.

Me too! I don't get it. Like I said I don't know all the details but that's what he told us.

Why don't we get the entire story before we discuss this. I mean, all you have is what a ramper told you during pushback. There is something here because why would anyone get violated for a closed door.

Maybe the aircraft wasn't secured. Some airlines place tape across the door. Or maybe he didn't do a security check. Who knows. I remember when I worked at Horizon, the FAA will walk around without their badges and I remember Express jet got fined a couple of times.

Without knowing more of the details of their story I can only assume because those geniuses at the TSA could not access the aircraft to do their little lame cabin security check? God knows they know exactly what they are doing and where all the access panels are on the interior and exterior are that could hide contraband <sarcasm>
