The Gun Counter

As we're bitching about the BATF(U) POS scum suckers I found this old post at the other site and thought it would be pertinent here as well...

Those TSA & HSA arselickers are two other agencies that have to get a major going over as to their powers...

*************************************************

I’m a relatively, easy going person, fairly calm, cool and collected and with few biases but I absolutely loath, abhor, detest, those snivelling, megalomaniacal, TSA agents, sorry rent-a-dummy and their Canadian equivalents…

Fucking little demigods, strutting around like their shit don’t stink and making you dance to their tune...take off your shoes, turn around, why is your knee beeping, rip through your luggage and pockets, maybe even strip search you...And all without a warrant because of George W.--that ignorant POS--and Homeland Security--that doesn’t work worth shit…

I have a friend of the family with a prosthetic leg—stump is well above the knee—and he of course beeps when going through the metal detector so they wand him…get to his knee, beeps and they ask what is it, he roll up his pant leg and shows the fake leg…they MFRs made him strip and take the leg off so they could check inside…the beeps were below the pouch for his stump, but no, they want to check…OK he could have been smuggling in coke, heroin or some fruit. Oh, I should point out that he’s in his 70s, white, walks with a metal cane (which they check inside) and lost his leg in the Korean War but the lady in the burka and her husband right behind him doesn’t get anything done to them because it might be misconstrued as racial profiling…

Well if the majority of Arab terrorists are Arab and Muslim it only makes sense to check them out—that’s not profiling—it may be a little racist—but not profiling, just sensible security!

If you complain or even look at the imbecilic moronic pustule, cross wise they’ll make your life miserable, make you miss your flight(s) and they can’t be held responsible for you missing your lifelong trip of a cruise with your three remaining sisters because you’re in a wheel chair and they demand you get up from it--which you refuse because you can’t… It happened to my aunt from and at Boston Aeroport and she had trip cancellation insurance--but which none of the insurance companies cover for Security delays...She’s suing them for lose of monies and enjoyment, mental anguish and because she is really pissed off and married to a retired judge who has nothing better to do then follow through with it or his life will become really miserable as my aunt is a real bitch—sorry auntie, but it’s true and you know it!

The Government’s own pundits claim that the agents probably let between 40% to 60% and even higher of the goods through, that they are supposed to confiscate, because of poor training, laziness and they couldn’t say it out loud but sheer stupidity…

After the removal and disbanding of the BATFE, Homeland Security has to be revised and/or disbanded also…They both don’t know what they’re doing and nobody can rein in either one of them…They are out of control and must be stopped.

You should have just shot the bitch--verbally that is...and demanded a TSA supervisor be called, by the airline supervisor, and had her skank ass fired…

I’ve been in the service industry for 40 years and I would have been fired on the spot for something like that and I would have fired here right there and then had I been in a position to do so...At least have a mark against here go into her work history jacket with TSA...three strikes and you’re out!

TSA...they think they are rulers of some little fiefdom when we all know that TSA stands for Totally Stupid Assholes
.
How many names can we come up with for them?
1. Thinking Sometimes Allowed…
2. Thoughts Systematically Absent…
3. Travelers Systematically Accosted…
4. Terrorists Sometimes Aboard…
5. Terrorists Seldom Apprehended…
6. They Seldom Think

Ahhhh government all the compassion of the IRS and all the efficiency of the TSA.
I believe the GAO , the audit arm of the US Congress found the TSA less efficient than security prior to 9/11, in at least 3 separate audits since the agency was formed.

I dont think this is much of a new thing.
I've been going to the States a few times over the years, and I cant tell much difference over the years, and from what I'm told it's been like that forever. Where's talking 30+ years back here, at least.

If anything, I actually think they seem to be improving, if my last experience shows anything. This time they were polite, and I could actually hear what they said. I remember once in the 90s when they wouldnt look at me, and just mumbled something that I was supposed to follow, and growled when I didnt understand what to do

Airport security annoys the hell out of me ( and I'm going to start how I hope to go on and refrain from profanity according to forum rules while I explain why )

I always set off the metal detector because I have surgical metal in my legs and pelvis due to a bad motorbike crash. I also have something called 'altered sensation' in my right leg due to related nerve damage, which means I can't even touch my own leg in certain places. I roll my trouser leg up and try to explain ( all the skin grafts and scarring are blindingly obvious ) but it never does much good, I always get to stand there being frisked.

Security outbound from the UK is the worst - there I am, belt removed, no boots, shuffling along in a line as if I'm a gangbanger about to be inducted into a maximum security prison, not a paying customer.
No liquids are allowed through, so if you want a bottled drink or whatever before the flight then the caterers on the other side of security know they can charge what they like. How about $3.90 for a small bottle of Coke ?

All of this charade so we don't 'profile' the RoP

I've got a solution called " Bacon Sandwich Security " - each passenger is required to take a bite from a delicious bacon sandwich before boarding. So we don't make it unfair on our Jewish friends or vegetarians then those people who are obligated by their beliefs to refuse the sandwich should be asked to shake hands with a Rabbi instead. If you don't like bacon or Jews then you can bloody well stay on the ground.

I always take an improvised weapon on the plane with me, a non-metallic one which can be hidden in plain sight and if there are any suspicious looking individuals I try and sit behind them. If a plane I'm on is hijacked then I swear on the bones of my ancestors it will be over my dead body.

I like Highspeed's security plan. I want to eat the whole sandwich, though, with my left hand, and then shake the Rabbi's hand with my right. Belt and suspenders, don'tcha know.

We usually call them Thousands Standing Around.

Just imagine having to deal with them every time you go to work.

I think of them as the TSA Gangstaz.
