Eat it first, walk through, then tell em you'll have to wait a while to get it back, depending on your biological functions could be a few days. Make sure the sandwich hasn't been altered to your detriment too.

I hear the average TSA employee makes about 17$ an hour. Or 43,000$ yearly.

As long as it is 3 oz. or less and in a clear plastic bag.

What if I am confident I can produce 4.0oz of liquid (or a gell) once I pass through! LOL :D

What if I put the turkey sandwich in a blender? Is it a liquid then?

What if we then freeze the blended turkey-sandwich? It is now a solid, no?


Sounds like a pretty complex job to me - worthy of $43k a year :rolleyes:

Nothing will change till the Airlines and passengers say enough is enough and since it still goes on to this day I really see no change in the forseeable future .
Its all about FEELING safe or is it ?:rolleyes:
And as far as taking someone elses liquids or whatever thru security ,thats nothing but a way to get set up by said individual savvy?

Wow, you guys actually make eye contact with passengers and other people in security? I try to avoid that at all costs. No one can ask me to carry their turkey sandwich through. Beside, I feel guilty just being able to butt in front of the whole line. I hate the dirty looks I get!

Thats also why I sit in the cockpit when non-revving. Slim chance of getting hit up for a Multi Level Marketing plan up there.

OK rich UPS guy...

Pay the TSA more, but pilot pay everywhere is fine. :rolleyes:

I agree with the hiring requirements though.

I applied to TSA a couple times after 9/11 and before the recently ended regional airline hiring boom, when my flight instructor job wasn't paying the bills. I never got a call back. I have a Bachelor's degree.

Must have been over qualified.

If you were applying in Detroit you are about 2 degrees overqualified. I think they only hire you if your highest education was middle school graduate. I can't stand riding the crew bus with them... I feel like I need to shower again just by being on the same bus.
