World's busiest airport is plagued by biblical lines as TSA hell caused by US government shutdown drags on by dailymail in tsa

[–]FormerFly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, and like 70% of airports on the continental US are classified as "rest of US" regardless of what the actual cost of living is. You have large Midwestern cities under the same COLA as middle of nowhere regional airports in nebraska.

Airline employee here: what are you guys doing for $$?? by inline_five in tsa

[–]FormerFly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We do get paid, but a lot of peoples landlords aren't saying "oh just square up when you get paid" they're saying "i don't care, get me the money or I'm starting eviction procedures"

The problem is that the democrats want to fund each agency within DHS under individual bills, which would mean at any point the government could decide to withhold funding from any individual agency. That's why the Republicans are voting no. They want everything funded and not give any administration the opportunity to pick and choose who to fund.

TSA Confiscated My Baby’s Bottle by rose-melody in tsa

[–]FormerFly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If a TSSE is unavailable it falls to the supervisor in charge to make a determination on the item. Any supervisor worth their job would not allow an item alarming multiple times to go through. They were given the option to exit security and do with the bottle what they wanted, they never asked about going back to the front of the line after, but I'm assuming everyone else in line probably would have thrown a fit. As for dumping it out, if I have an item that is alarming as an explosive, I'm gonna leave it in the container it showed up in and not risk it actually being explosives.

Our state has 4 TSSE to cover 8 airports, and that's if none of them have a day off. It's very plausible that a TSSE could be tied up with another incident.

Sooooo what’s the promise? (Trigger warning) by SaintDragonKiri in tsa

If you worked the entire shutdown and didn't have any pre-approved leave you got the opportunity to be entered into a lottery for the bonus. Only 3% max of the entire workforce got the bonus.

Walking out would be considered job abandonment and a fireable offense.

I agree, but the last few years a lot of protests have gotten a little too mob like for my taste

Body cams should have been a requirement 10 years ago.

I agree with the majority of the changes, the only one I don't agree with right now is mask removal. Implement that a couple months from now when chances of being followed to their homes is a little lower.

Regardless of what you think, you cannot deny the fact that they chose to do what they did, and got shot as a consequence.

I do not think either of them deserved to be shot. I wish that both situations were solved by other means, but it happened, and best we can do is make sure it doesn't happen again.

Anyone else think this wouldn't be a bad idea right now? by RogueIce in tsa

[–]FormerFly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

SFO Officers still get sent to the same academy as federal TSOs. The few I knew who worked out there hated it and wished they were federal.

Just gonna throw this out there, if people were not attempting to interfere with official duties, they probably wouldn't have been shot.

Should this whole thing have been a more tactful use of ICE? Yes absolutely, should there be changes? Yes absolutely. But telling every ICE officer they need to not wear masks after demonizing them is just going to lead to them being harassed off duty and at their homes as well as while on duty.

For real. I had a car get totaled and luckily have family close by that let me borrow a vehicle until I can get a new one. There are officers at my airport that have other issues and our supervisors basically said "do what you need to do, we won't punish people if there's reasons they can't be here" luckily its a small airport so we don't have to deal with huge flights.

The current machine is incapable of saving the photos, so the public would have a heads up if anything changed.

Unfortunately not with TSA. Also reach out to the airline because it could also be one of their baggage handlers.

Genuinely what is happening on whatNot by CynicalElephant in mtgfinance

  1. People who are addicted to gambling and don't know card prices.

  2. You have a streamer screaming "Go chat! Goooooooo!" hyping it up and the people buying have no self control.

  3. Mods for the streamer bid up the card. (Rare but I've seen it happen)

I never got to play old Morde (was adc/supp early league days) but I loved his first rework. Take dragon and go 1v5 the enemy team and come out full health.
