I have two thoughts -
1. TSA wants more money and more bodies to justify their existence.
2. The government is aware of a potential attack and is deliberately jamming up the system to give the allusion that they are stepping up security
still wasting everyone’s time searching little old ladies and men in wheelchairs...things would move much faster if you PROFILED FREAKING MUSLIMS........
Lets throw up the scenario that in 2016, you do four flights, and at least two of them are “missed” flights because of TSA. What are the odds that you start to downsize your travel deal...refusing to travel via airlines unless it’s totally necessary? If you just convinced 100,000 people to travel half as much....you’d start to screw with profit numbers. What if I could convince 500,000 people to travel half as much?
I traveled recently to Singapore and Hong Kong. Went through security at both locations. In the case of Hong Kong, it took 12 minutes to make my way through their system at 2PM in the afternoon. In Singapore, at 4PM, I made the transit via security in less than eight minutes. In both cases, they did the full amount of security that you’d typically expect in Atlanta or Philly (which typically takes me 45 minutes of waiting from the start of the line to the point I finish the process).
I think all of this relates to some effort to get TSA to hire more people, and thus increase the size of their operation. This will relate back to you eventually....in increased cost for airport taxes, etc.
"I have two thoughts..."
This is just another way of going on strike without going on strike.
These govt. parasites are pathetic.
