Rules get 'made up' as they go. They do it with their own people and they admitt (in TSA meetings that we're not supposed to know about) that they feel good about themselves if they can take a SIDA badge froma pilot OR EVER GET THEM FIRED because of it
The SLC mangagment (names Earl) has a serious power ego problem and his minions are no better. I live in SLC but not based there so I only have to commute through, I feel bad for the pilots based there. Anyway, thats just some inside info im privy to about SLC TSA. Watch out there!!
YES, watch out in SLC and in UTAH for that matter, they're really anal about rules, wonder why.... I just came out of the airplane on the ramp, I asked the agent if they could open the door for me to go inside the terminal. I was the only pilot there, I couldn't have sneaked from anywhere, the airplane was no more than a hundred feet away, and I was going from the ramp which is more secure than the terminal, yet the guy still asked for my I.D.
