Re: Airport "Security" -- 80% fail
Just had a friend fly home from New Orleans to Chicago. Got selected for additional TSA testing as his carry on bag (with his passport from a cruise he was just on, additional cash, his wallet, and all other items from his pocket so it wouldn't get lost) were being run through the x-ray. Then, the TSA agents let an elderly handicapped woman cut ahead in line. Then, because she needed assistance, the whole family was allowed through. Buddy is still waiting to go grab his carry on and personal items.
Two older women from the next line over (unrelated to buddy or the family allowed to cut) walk past the end of the conveyor with everyone's items backing up on it and grab my friends bag, before he can get it and disappear into the crowd. TSA agents told him "too bad, go file a police report." First sheriff officer he sees goes "Well, I haven't been told about a missing bag, go file a report first." To which my friend said "I'm asking to file the stolen bag report *NOW*." Second sheriff said "What do you want me to do?" and waited a half hour approaching TSA to check the video.
Then goes back to my buddy and goes "Oh, it happened just like you said, yeah, lets get that report started for you."
