Yeah, that's pretty much how it works. I don't want to create a situation where a bad guy can swear into the U.S. military and immediately get a "pass" on normal security screening. But once someone has served out their first enlistment -- especially if they've also obtained a high-level security clearance -- I don't have a problem with giving that person a break.
You got that nasty girl viewpoint I see.
Thanks for doing that, I know small tokens like that mean a lot to the "Joes."
I just went back to the States for the first time in two years and was shocked how many people would see me, walk over and say "Thank You." I really didn't know how to respond to that. Your welcome didn't seem to cut it and felt kindda awkward.
After thinking it over I decided the best way to respond is with "We all appreciate your continued support" (or something like that anyway).
Sure, but I'd think it's in conexes rather than on one's person or in personal luggage.
I'm sorry, I have a problem with this. Just like all TSA stories, it appears they are once again going after the least likely terrorists, and with a vengeance. Going after the military the way this article states is even worse.
IIRC, it wasn't Bush that wanted TSA. It was Dems.
