Greta To Airport Screeners: Speak English While Discussing My Luggage!

Foxnews.com ^

[Retired Chemist]

Greta Van Susteren (FNC) said an inspection of her carry on luggage was requested while going through airport security. She said the two screeners started conversing in Spanish while inspecting her bag! She requested that they converse in English while checking her bag. She felt it was not to much to ask!

The purpose of offering higher pay to luggage screeners is to get better applicants and (to a lesser extent) reduce attrition among the better employees...

Having spent considerable time at the checkpoints (pre 9/11, installing ETDs) I can tell you 90% of the traveling public are either natural born pr*cks, or become pr*cks passing through the airport doors. The abuse heaped on the screeners by thier "customers" is astounding. I wouldn't do that job for $100/hr. let alone $10/hr.

Most of the people who act like that never did "little people's work" for a living.
