My kid is a real asshat when it comes to eating. The only thing he will eat with any gusto is french fries. All other foods must conform to the specific standards of Crunchy (like chips or toast), or Smooth (like yogurt). This morning he is refusing his smoothie because he wants french fries, well fuck that, I will be damned before I see this kid grow up fat. Having been fat for a while, I know how much it sucks and how easy it is to get into bad habits when you are young.

Bluh.

Here's some more videos of these cocksuckers that call themselves TSA agents at work:

Don't get your panties in a wad about the site; it was the second link when I searched for the most recent video and conveniently had links to other incidents.

Can you link all the videos the millions of people that have zero issues with the TSA as they go about their travels?

I travel a bit for work and a bit for vacation with family and I've had ZERO issues ever with the TSA.

Agreed, and I travel often.

But the squeaky wheel gets the grease!

And I'm not saying I don't believe abuse or misuse of power happens, I just don't believe it's the norm nor should it be what people think of as the norm/standard when they think of TSA.

I haven't flown since 2005, so I really have no worthwhile input.

I also wouldn't mind being scanned with the naked scanner thing. I actually consider it to be a misfortune for the person working.

lol. I take two or three flights a year and I've never had any issues either, but I don't have a gun or weed that I "forget" I have in my bag. Obviously there are a lot of incidents, but the percentage I think is low. People don't use common sense, like putting diamond rings, laptops and other expensive things in checked baggage. Yes the liquid rules are stupid, but that's what they are, deal with it, put the containers in a separate bag, take off your shoes and your metal belt, it's over in 2 minutes.

Honestly as someone who used to fly in steel toed boots, I'm glad everyone has to take off their shoes now and not just me.

Solution: don't wear steel toed boots to go on a plane...?

Better idea- the TSA now makes everyone take their shoes off. BEAT THE SYSTEM.

I live in one of Forbes top ten most miserable cities in America. At least it isn't the most miserable city in America, a dishonor of which we were crowned a few years ago. I need to fucking move. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/0...#slide=2135851
