Mog SpawnTSA agents are working without pay at US airports due to another shutdown
CentipedeFarrierI hope it lasts a long time and they all quit and nobody wants to work there anymore and we have to rethink having so much airport security. Not like they do anything useful anyway.
I know I know, wishful thinking.
Before the TSA existed (pre-911) airport security was run and paid for by the airlines.
And it was relatively pleasant. Walk through a metal detector, have your carry on x-rayed and you’re good to go. Whole thing would only take a couple minutes once you made it to the front of the line and most of that was just waiting for the tray to go through the little x-ray conveyor belt. Even the people running the machines were relatively pleasant, not the surly assholes looking for an excuse to power trip on somebody that are all running things now.
