Had a sh*t-for-brains TSA lady who wasn't going to let me through security the other day, insisting everyone who goes through security needs a boarding pass. The stupid high-school dropout couldn't seem to understand that pilots don't use boarding passes. I had my ID badge plainly visible but was in plain clothes. Finally after about 30 secs one of the others who had a LITTLE bit more upstairs looked at my ID and let me through... Dumba**es

I got selected a few months ago in uniform, in lax. I told the guy, you dont seem to get the fact that I will go right to the flight deck, so what are you looking for? Confuised he said nothing and continued on with his search.
Whatever...

I guess the liquid ban can be lifted since five of the defendants pleaded guilty to lesser charges and maintain they never planned to blow up aircraft.

The way I get through that crap is to just realize that TSA is just a huge government works project (like the New Deal was). These are people without a marketable skill who would otherwise be a drain on taxpayers either on welfare or in prison, etc.
I find the nastiest pair of boxers I have and put them right on top inside my bag. This never fails to abbreviate the bag search. Good luck

I'm as frustrated as anyone with the TSA. But TSA employees are just trying to earn a living and put food on the table, the same as you and I.
True, some TSA employees might be less intelligent than you, and many of the rules are asinine. Does that give you the right to degrade them in such a manner?
Your method of dealing with the issue is immature, disgusting, and utterly inappropriate. I'm embarrassed to share this profession with you.
