Probably get a free flight pass if you are catching up on the Koran.

I guess I should take my copy of Handgun Stopping Power on board? Great book, by the way.

TSA deserves a lot of criticism and more.

But Bob Barr is kind of nutty, which is sad given his history with FR.

Perhaps TSA should ask for an oral book report to prove you are actually reading it?

Give someone an ID badge and a badge and they’re like the Gestapo. “What book am I reading? How to fly an Airbus 321 ‘cuz like it’s my first time and all”

To its credit, TSA’s Pre-Check program, in which passengers apply to be vetted before flying and then are allowed expedited screening without all the dehumanizing antics of going through non-Pre-Check screening, is a significant step in the right direction.

After years of travel, going through the whole process of taking off my belt and shoes and staggering away from the security gate in my socks with my carry on bag in one hand, trying to keep my pants up with the other, I went ahead and enrolled in the Pre-Check program. I don't know if Pre-Check is really a step in the right direction or just a way to pay the government money to avoid their security theater, but at least air travel is now fractionally less annoying.

How about they concentrate on screening guys named “Mohamed”?

Put Clintons ‘Hard Choices’ dust jacket over whatever you’re reading and you’ll probably get bumped up to first class.

A good friend of mine and I often comment that somewhere, a NSA guy has to go through all of our reading lists.

From history, to tactics, to cooking, to sci fi, to all sorts of things, Amazon has a hard time figuring what to classify me as. The NSA intern who has my file either loves my choices, or hates me with a passion.

Same with the poor sap that has to listen to my phone conversations. Sorry about the Edward III conversation the other night, NSA Bob, I forgot that we shouldn’t talk history after three shots.

In all its years of annoying and harassing travelers the TSA has never caught one, not one, terrorist.
They have found plenty of fingernail clippers and toiletries with more than 3 oz in them.

Well, it would be useful to be able to establish that the lowest rung of TSA employees can actually read...
It has been a constant suspicion that, that is a serious question.

Also, it is not too much to ask that the goal of luggage theft be always a trend toward zero, with serious jail time for violation of victimizing travelers. No exceptions, no second chances.
The TSA supervisors, of course should be held to higher standards, with higher penalties for clearly defined crimes, including incompetence. Nuke nepotism and muslim employees altogether.

BOY!!! Would TSA get confused if, when I showed them them the book/ books, I'm reading.

They'd be wondering, is there really is such a book and wonder where they can get a copy.

A hundred and one ways for planes to go BOOM. Fun reading while sitting next to a nervous flier.

Ha,ha! (as if any employee of the T.S.A. could even read a book)

At one time, in a land far away, people actually liked flying. Flight attendants were cheerful and helpful. Passengers were just ordinary people, neither great nor obnoxious. You were able to bring things on board that now are designated “criminal”.

It was unlikely that a bearded savage would shave off his facial fur and fly the plane into a building.

Much has changed since then. The mutual trust among people who didn’t know each other is now gone. You are treated as a terrorist, unless you actually are one, in which case you are offered an extra drink.

Someone needs to write a book entitled, “What a bunch of assholes the fat, lazy, morons at TSA are”

Other books that I’d like to see are: “Why the government jerk-offs don’t give a damn about you, and how they screw you over” and “How to make fun of a TSA drone with him, her or it even having a clue.”

They can thumb through those, if they can even read.
