[Idyllchat] RE: JFK, Alitalia, Delta

[Barbara Palmer]

When I came back from Peru I had to change planes in Atlanta.  I did not 
have to go through security again.  It was very easy.




Often, when I am reading a good book, I stop and thank my teacher.  That is, 
I used to, until she got an unlisted number.  ~Author Unknown

There is no sense in my going through the delays, frustrations, etc.  that 
have been my fortune in several airports. It should be evident  to all that 
the personnel in security jobs are the lowest common  denominator. Most of 
these folks would not be hired to do any other  work in the public or 
private sectors. To say that most of them are  dumber than dirt would be 
kind. Remember, I didn't say that. This  condition MAY exist all the way to 
the top of TSA. They got burned  badly by 9/11 (bad metaphor, I know), and 
they only have tunnel  vision now.

The airports have a monopoly on air travel, and that is the service  you get 
with monopolies. If everyone refused to make connections  through, or use, a 
given airport for a week, things would start to  jump. That isn't going to 
happen because most of us enter into a  "herd" mentality when we travel.

Fix this? I don't see it happening.

If you took all the people who sleep on the job at their desks and  laid 
them end to end, they’d be a lot more comfortable.
