Just call them officer like I've been doing. Makes me laugh.

"No officer, I didn't realize I had that toothpaste in there. I'm sorry."

Nothing like getting your AA degree with a 2.0 GPA to make you believe in the 9/11 "Truth" movement :D

Gotta love the name tags with the title "officer", as if the badge wasn't enough to give these complete idiots big heads.

We're not allowed to know the rules. They're on magical paper that they can pull out and look at themselves when they need to, then make them disappear again.

Seriously, I've asked this question before as well, and if these rules do exist, can someone tell us where to find them?

Okay...so before I have to go and ask them myself (which I will!), I heard that the TSA agents cannot even take the badge home - that they have to sign it in and out at every shift. Any thruth to this? Reminds me of that incident at the Cubs game - did the drunken agent actually whip out a badge?

Makes sense to me, I could imagine them driving home from work, driving a little fast and getting them pulled over by a cop, and then whipping out their "badge" and showing it to the cop trying to get outta the ticket....

I saw a TSA guy shopping at Wal-Mart wearing his new, blue uniform. I'm not kidding....

You have obviously been dropped on your head a few too many times. Take a piece of advice, you have the right to have extreme views, but in in the unlikely event you actually make it to this industry you better watch what you say.

you know what i used to do that really got them upset. the night before a trip i'd make soup to take along. well i froze it in an average container (alot bigger than 3oz) and would take it with me. every time i went through security they tried to take it from me and i made it a point that is wasn't a liquid or a gel. after a few times talking with the supervisor he kindly asked me to stop, so now i make sure i'm in uniform everytime i go through with it. ;)

remember that in 7 years when he meets UPS mins and applies there :)
