One time passing thru Denver airport the TSA kid said “Wassat in yer knee?” I said I had a total knee replacement. Kid says (and I swear to the Almighty) “Can ya take it out?” I got angry. Mrs darr knowing my short temper concerning stupidity silently put her hand on my shoulder… I asked to see this kids supervisor…I got the same numbskull treatment. I had to show 'em the 8 inch scar on my knee.
I wrote a snail mail letter to the head of TSA who at the time was called John Pistole (Government workers have no sense of irony. Imagine the head of TSA having “pistol” as a family name). I asked for an apology. I never heard back.
Ever since I have had an extremely low opinion of TSA.

I carry a plastic card from my surgeon with his phone number, a description of the device, its maker, model# and a picture for those who cannot read…

There are so many layers of awfulness to this Administration you lose track sometimes. To the extent he has run businesses, they’ve been tightly controlled, family operations. Placed at the head of a vast bureaucracy full of people who don’t owe him anything, he’s almost encouraging everyone to break down into factions, like he thinks his game show was really how a business runs. The way he sidelines McMaster and Tillerson and lets Priebus and Bannon knife each other would cause leaks in any White House, even one that hadn’t colluded with a hostile foreign power to get elected.

My experience was more droll. They asked me to step out and they used the hand scanner and came up with a signal near my mouth. I told the TSA person that I have a partial lower plate and “would you like me to take it out?” She got all kinda weird looking and said, “No, no, you don’t have to do that.” Funny that.

My experience with full body scans is that they are nothing but an excuse to pull people out of line for stupid reasons.

Meanwhile, carry ons with guns and knives in them are just wending their way through the xrays and onto the planes with their people somehow.

According to rumors heard by some anonymous fake reporters, the staff of Melissa McCarthy imitator Sean Spicer have started buying up homing pigeons and leaning how to send smoke signals. Reacting to these fake facts, both Spicer and McCarthy denied that pigeons could be seen as leakers. Spicer added: “There’s no place like homing.”

The titanium rod, pin and screws that put the ball of my hip joint back together don’t set off any TSA alarms.

“during a meeting which itself was then leaked to the media”

Best laugh of the week actually.

Jeez, this does sort of indicate how close some of the leakers are. Has Spicey checked his own phone?

And at what point do they have minders following all personnel to ensure they do not stop to talk to someone or pass a message otherwise. But then, who will mind the minders to prevent them from leaking. But then…

Preshitident Trump’s inner circle including Kellyanne Conway and his friends were behind the leaks. Preshitident Trump has been using his unsecured phone in the Oval Office.

It really is embarrassing that Sean Spicer’s decision to snoop in and check his employees phone calls itself was leaked. Sad.

Ok , if you work in the White House always -
Take the SD card out of your Samsung phone , and put it back in when you leave
If you use an iPhone buy a Hoo Too plug in external memory plug and take it out while in the White House .
P.S , if you use a Samsung phone , keep a clean SD card with you to put into the phone in the House .

Spicer warned those present that there would be “more problems” if news of the meeting and “phone check” was leaked to the press.

Effective.

Trump is trusting this idiot to find leakers? Christ, what a farce.

(SNL, you’re living high on the hog.)
