[QUOTE="loudshirt, post: 1368408, member: 10585"] This one does have one point that makes me mad about the TSA. Not the scanners, not the pat downs, not the fact the exist. The fact that they do not have the same procedures across the board. The example in here about the cane is very similar to my experience flying from ATL to LAX and from LAX to TUL in the same day. At ATL I was told to put my shoes in the bin to be x-rayed., so after I dropped my son off at LAX I had to go back through security and so like I did in ATL about 6 hrs or so earlier I put my shoes in the bin to be x-rayed. Well apparently the TSA changed the rules from the time I left ATL that morning. It is a small thing but to me it says plenty about the dysfunction of the TSA. For the record I do believe that the TSA has a place in airline/airport security. I do believe that they could learn a whole lot from El AL. I also believe that this country needs to drop the PC crap and let the TSA/Law enforcement do realistic profiling. Is a 30 something white male member of the military traveling with his son really the one that you should do "random" screening on? Oh and if your son steps back in the screening area with you he has to get extra screening too (it was done by a very professional and courteous TSA screener). Just my thoughts. [/QUOTE]
