Thumbs down Way To Go, TSA!

I generally do not agree with Ken Schram (I hate his stupid beard), but the TSA once again shows its remarkable intelligence.

WOW. That's about as bad as it gets . Still, you can't blame the TSA for being extra cautious after all those inspectors got gels and explosive materials through security. I don't agree with that one TSA officer's choice, but I understand where he was coming from.

I can't believe that. How thick do you have to be? Don't they have the wand-style metal detectors, or better yet, test the jackets if you never passed third grade and learned the difference between metals and everything else.

I find it funny how they don't look at other things. I mean I can wear by watch and belt through and nothing.

I've always liked old Ken. Sadly, he may now show up on the "no-fly" list.
1930's Germany anyone?

Kudos' to this guy for being harsh etc.... This is so sadly true, but the people that work the TSA really don't have high IQ's and can't think outside of the box, etc.... They will pick up anyone that can pass a background check, and unfortunately most of them seem to have power-trips too.
