>> have had some very bad experiences with TSA and the worst, hands down, was in San FRancisco. The female TSA agents are as nasty, obese, and as racist as any I have ever encountered.<<
No joke — that is the entire city.
The new rules should reduce such treatment. And get badge numbers and report them (AFTER you finish, of course). There is an email address you can use.
I don’t know why everyone keeps missing what I keep saying: It ain’t a great system! It isn’t even a GOOD system. But we are stuck with it until we get it changed and that will take a mountain movement of legislators and legislation.
And us frequent travelers are working hard on just that.
I am a frequent traveler and use www.flyertalk.com. It’s a great site that gives good information about security and TSA. Also good info for individual airline frequent flyer programs.
