Before I became a "high and mighty" regional pilot, I was a Ramp agent for 10 YEARS. I was NEVER molested,extra-screened,patted down, wanded, Made to take My uniform belt and shoes off bent over ,be-littled and embarrassed in front of passengers like I've been as a pilot . NOT ONCE! I had the freedom and ability to carry whatever I pleased to the SIDA. I had heard of some spot checks in the hallway that we used to BYPASS the checkpoint. Very rare indeed, And it was funny to hear the guys Rant when they had their lunchboxes and backpacks searched...Something is very wrong with the TSA, Common sense is definately Not common in that agency...
rant over..
