Pay your fee, attend a week of training, and you too could be a "Federal" agent.:rolleyes:

You also get a cute little bag to keep your tuna sandwhich in...

It's not just stupid TSA guys doing this, apparently there is a guy at Comair that likes to flash his FFDO badge and say he is a "fed agent".

I thought that was the whole point? Get out of speeding tickets while skipping the fee on public events.

FFDO= Federal Flight Deck Officer

Federal Officer= Federal Agent?

I could see maybe claiming this, but if he is doing this in casual conversation he is just trying to brag.

It was a casual joke. I'd say it's pretty obvious that FFDO doesn't= Federal Agent. There's just stories floating around of people using them to get out of tickets.

I agree. You'd have to be quite a tool tell a cop that you are a fellow officer of the law and to cut you some slack. However, you can say you have your service weapon with you so he doesn't freak when/if he sees it, then when he asks you who you are with, tell him FFDO and let HIM decide if you are worthy.
It's almost as bad as the private pilot bragging to girls in the bar that he is a pilot, meanwhile an airline crew is sitting right next to him...
