The TAT is just where they hung their bag full of confiscated material, 40s of refreshment, bonus checks for staying on the job 3 weeks in a row and end of the day donuts/bagels/etc while they did an inspection looking for a way in..... No way anyone did much scalin'.

Pitot-static probes are sharp metal objects... so they had to go. As did any antennas and static dischargers... Next was the fuel. Drained to 3oz. Now you're safe for flight! A job well-done TSA!

I loved the 3oz’s of fuel, classic.

I agree this is a moronic idea, but with that statement, you are trying to light a fire with wet matches son.

LOL

You're right pops!!! Thanks for catching my grammar error. I made a mistake and I see what I have done wrong.:eek: Learning= a change of behavior as a result of experience. Still, I didn't make the same mistake 9 times and not realize it. I am not perfect, but I am making progress!!!

So on another note, if i'd have to guess why these guys broke pitot tubes. I'm guessing they couldn't access the aircraft through jetbridge so they decided to try from the ramp using the pitot tubes as something to try to climb up on the plane.

Why is it that the TSA at times reminds me of Police Academy?:eek:
Wonder when ppl will get fed up with this and you know damn good and well the higher ups at the TSA know whats going on and continue to ignore it .

Tell it to these folks.... apparently this is "routine procedures" for TSA now

Where is breaking airplanes in the course of "Routine procedures". TSA agents by far are nothing but a bunch of high school drop outs, authority problems, reject cops etc. etc. etc. Perfect bunch of disgruntled rouges to handle the security of the nations air travelers.

Maybe it's time they got a uniformed nation wide policy and procedure thing going and one that prevents them from out right law breaking as they did at ORD.
