Default TSA’s new secret weapon: politeness

Any TSA agent who touches me or hugs me will be kicked in the nads, poked in both eyes and charged with assault and battery.

From MSNBC:
Don’t be surprised or alarmed if the next time you go through the security checkpoint at the airport you find TSA staff handing out smiles and warm greetings instead of barked orders, mean looks and stern commands. There may even be some TSA-approved hugging and high-fiving going on back there behind the X-ray machines.

It sounds farfetched, I know. Especially if you’re one of the many travelers who regularly ends up feeling demeaned and harassed at airport checkpoints and believes that the TSA only hires sticky-fingered miscreants who are missing the genes for courtesy and respect.

I have not noticed any changes except for the nice new uniforms. Still the same pond scum that was there before. They only thing that I give them props for is having a job. But if your going to do it then do it right. Good post Vagabond
