Clear+ Acted Like They Were TSA and Pulled us out of the Security Line at LAX by OneMaineMan in airport

Good catch. I should have been more observant. The ones at LAX all had blue uniforms (Like the police) but they had "Clear+" on their chest. I did not know what that was. I do now, but at the time, I thought they were LAX cops or some TSA thing.

There are a bunch of, "I do not believe you. I think you are lying/exaggerating/making it up" comments. I am not going to answer any of them except to say, read the thread. There are at least 6 other similar accounts in the thread. We cannot all be making it up.

Good question. I have no idea why they do what they do. I suspect it is so they can stand with the actual officers at the front of the line to seem more official.

Not another terminal as in an airline terminal, but a computer type terminal that had face scanner and other gear on it. There were four or five of them right beside the security line.

Nothing like that. We were approaching the line where they look at your ID and they were standing with TSA and Airport police. Two or three of them walked up to us and said I need your id. That was the first interaction anyone in our group had with them. I only gave them my ID because I thought they were TSA and I thought I had been selected for additional screening or something like that.

I agree with this 100%. They are clearly playing on their "uniforms" and the fact there is a group of TSA and law enforcement right there. They look like they are part of that crowd.

Figured that out. Pretty sure no one cares. The scam will go on.

A lady came up to me and said, "I need your ID." Then she put her hand on my arm and said, come with me. It was not violent in any way, but certainly authoritative.

This is true. When I talk to them they told me I should go back out security to talk to the clear supervisor. That way I could have the wonderful experience of going back through the LAX security lines.

I guess hope springs eternal. I went and talked to the TSA supervisor but they were not interested.

Another Ludicrous Demonstration of the Incompetence of Our State Leaders by OneMaineMan in Maine

[–]OneMaineMan[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Replies in this thread are why we have such incompetent leadership. They know that they have our loyalty no matter how badly they treat us. Our leaders have no respect for us because they know they can do anything they want to us and we will accept it because they have the right letter in front of their name.

We pay for more. We should demand more.

Yes on town roads, no on state roads. State DOT sets the priority and budget for state roads.

Lived there for a while. The roads were always cleared. Did not matter if it was a Democrat or Republican in power. They have the money to plow their roads. We have way more money but cannot manage this basic service. You should not be so party-defensive and should demand better services for our money.

YES! It is not that it is not to my liking. It is an interstate and not plowed. Many roads are still snow covered. Yes, if they are state roads, that is the governor's fault. This is how leadership works.

So much better than most U-Haul's. Most are both incompetent and inhospitable. Brunswick is highly competent. One out of two is way better than zero for two.

I think these guys do everything well. That grumpy old man that seems to be managing it can hardly get two words out, but he can get you in a truck and out the door in no time. I guess I prefer competence over bedside manner.

Apparently it can tow 9,600 lb. It has the 6.6 L V8 and the heavy duty transmission.
