Liquids Surrendered At Airport Security: Is There An Afterlife? {Gadling}

Jul 12th 2012 9:22AM Dear Vicki,
I am sad that you feel this way I work for TSA in Houston if you only knew all of the real stuff that goes on maybe you would change your mind. You only hear what the news wants you to hear I don't always agree with the way the government runs things either or how you should be screened. I have worked here for over 8 years now I respect any and everyone that I come in contact with I really enjoy people everyone has a story. Every day our job is at stake I treat you like the way I would like to be treated with respect. There are those who feel inconvenced be cause we took away their hair gel or the line is to long. The rules are not that hard if people read the signs of what to do and how to do it. I have to do the same when me and my family flies i am a passanger like anyone else the last thing I want is another 911. I am a person just like you I have bills to pay I put on my pants one leg at a time I am not god nor am I any better than the rest of the people just have patiance and respect us after all I have for you.

Airport security -- what works, and what does not? {Gadling}

Jan 30th 2010 6:06PM Well all I work for TSA. FYI when your bags are checked under the
plane TSA only Inspects the bag, airline personnel are the last pepole
who handles your bag before it loaded on the plane. If there is any
stealing going on ask the $5.50 an hour baggage handler. We are
people like you have a family, pay bills,and have feelings also. Do
we have the safest and secure security? Well we do the best we can
with the tools we are given. I screen each and every passanger as if
they were my own family on that flight to assure that nothing gets on
that plane.Yes there are a few that are employed that only thinks of
it as a paycheck. Remember who we work for its not like we make rules
up as we go. The government tells us who what when where and why.
While we are constantly under a microscope with the public passangers
feel we are an annoyance. Let me ask you this is worth a few moments
of your time waiting in a security line then the alternitive? Do you
really think that we enjoy looking through your bags every time
something was not taken out or screening you because of a cell phone
was left in your pocket? I give the upmost respect for you, all we as
in return is maybe a thank you if we even given that.
