TSA can steal my frying pan but they can’t find your goddamn bomb.

I’m just about to experience this dumbass search when I fly out on Thursday. I’ve even taken, my little florist knife, that I’ve carried since I had my own flower shop, way back in 96-99, out of my make-up bag and leaving it here, afraid they might take it away. (one of the only keepsakes I still have.) I’ve made sure all of my meds, make up, lotions, etc are in the specified 3oz plastic bottles, enclosed in the specified zip lock plastic bags, placed in the specified locations of my specified size carry-on luggage. I’m wearing loose fitting clothes that can be easily scanned, patted down, or passed over with a wand. Sandals that only cover sparse areas of my feet should make them happy.
I’ve often wondered about the TSA since working at an airport for five years, which included the devastating 9/11 period, and seeing some of the least intelligent most ill equipped co-workers and other various employees, at the airport, apply for and actually be hired for this new position.
The truly capable and intelligent TSA employees are the Police Dogs. They and their handlers are the ones who should be receiving the monies that it cost to TRY and keep us safe. I’ve watched them work, AMAZING!
