If you don't know what "code red", "BBC", "Baby shower opt out" or "Jif Peanut Butter" mean in TSA speak, this is your article.

Yep, just affirms what everyone already knows.

...Couldn’t you have run those First Amendment rights past the legal department first?”

Guys want a target for reducing government spending that both sides can agree on, I've got one for you: The TSA.

Of course....it is what we already knew.......

I cannot begin to describe the amount of contempt I hold the TSA in. A hateful bunch that are doing nothing but, IMO, attempting to condition citizens to being subjects and slaves. Beyond that anything say I might get in trouble with forum rules.

You speak as if you haven't warmed up to and feel safer from being groped by complete strangers. Go figure.

You do realize that the article is more then four years old, don't you?

'Dear America, I Saw You Naked'

'And yes, we were laughing. Confessions of an ex-TSA agent.'

"By JASON EDWARD HARRINGTON"

"January 30, 2014"

"On Jan. 4, 2010, when my boss saw my letter to the editor in the New York Times, we had a little chat......."

His first letter to the New York Times written while he was a TSA agent was 4 years ago. The letter was written in response to the underware bomber setting his genitalia on fire.

The article is one day old per the title and heading.

However, time just creeps up on you. I think of the '90's as pretty recent, however they were 20 years ago. When I was a child, World War II was a long time ago, after all they did not have TV back then, drove big cars without fins and everything was black and white at the movies. For my parents it was like yestereday. When I was seven years old the war had been over 12 years, same as 9-11 is now.

I only now can recognize that fashion has changed since the '80's.

To me a 2010 car is new. Really 4 years. Where has the time gone, I had to renew my CHL. Has it been that long since I first fired a pistol.

Thanks Charles for providing this forum all that time.

My apologies. I was referring to his original article's date.

Megan Kelly has the story tonight on her Fox News show. Couldn't find a link.

Good article. Nice to know that a few TSA Agents are normal.

I'm not sure a B.A. in Creative Writing and working at TSA until you can find a full scholarship in a M.A. Creative Writing program counts as normal.

It does show more intelligence than the average Wal-Mart reject.

And because TSA was started right after the telecom bubble burst I, and a great many of my fellow TSA employees were engineers, technicians, and programmers with skill sets that far outstripped our management.
