If you travel by air, you know TSA. If you're lucky, you only have to take off your jacket/sweater, shoes, remove your belt and everything in your pockets. Perhaps you'll be wanded, your carry-on baggage searched, and lately you'll need to put your feet on the foot marks, raise your arms high above your head and endure scanning.
I have never been subject to actual body searching, praise heaven, but I've seen it. The blue gloves didn't make it look any less insulting.
TSA also looks in your checked luggage. Trust me, I know this. Sometimes they leave a card saying they've been rifling through your stuff; sometimes they don't leave the card.
TSA. Pretty powerful. Pretty much responsible for taking away any joy of air travel that might remain after somebody's decision to quit feeding passengers.
Now, I hear, TSA will be unionized. Which means we will NEVER be rid of them, free of them.
I know. I know. It's all for our protection.
But here is the burning question, burning in my brain, at least:
Have they ever caught a terrorist?
I don't think so. Correct me if I'm wrong. Correct me with names, dates, places.
