TSA Chief: Optimist About Everything but Terror

Another puff piece on the Gropenführer:
TSA Chief: Optimist About Everything but Terror

Actually, I think it might be a reprint of a bio article we've seen before. (Should this go in the Policies/Politics forum instead?)

 

Then why do you keep upping the ante at the checkpoint, Pissy-boy?

 

Yeah, it's the same puff piece being reprinted all over the blabbosphere:

Let's see, um, shoes in the bin in DTW today, and I want screeners milling around train platforms in BWI getting in the way of real LEOs to look important. Oh yeah, let's get a VIPR team in SAN to round up kids going to school that happen to be illegal aliens. Haven't done that in a while.

What's that, Steve? No, I don't want to see the latest report on how bad the Red Team failure rates are. That's not public information, other than what that Congressman from Utah keeps spouting off about. I wish he would just shut his piehole and let us do what we want.

How are the preparations coming along with the Big Anniversary this weekend, Frank? Can we at least try to find some screeners for the Honor Guards that don't look like their uniforms came from Omar the Tent Maker? Jaysus H. Keerist those whackers are embarrassing. I'll sign off on the overtime if you can round up some guys that can look down and see their feet.

Judy, will you get us a tee time at the Club for myself and Mr. Chertoff this afternoon? Damn, that guy is rolling in the dough, I need to think how I can cash in when I get out of this crap agency...

Sorry, day dreaming there for a moment! Okay people, that wraps it up for today. Big show this weekend, so let's break a leg!

 

Y'all should read the Yahoo version of this piece. Commenters running 30-1 against the TSA.

 

Dear Comrade Pistole:

Die. In. A. Fire.

Your organization only takes away American's rights. It does nothing else.

I refuse to be subservient to you or your bosses. I'm an American, dammit, and I have rights. And I'll be GOD DAMNED if you're going to take them away.

 

G0t a link?

 

When that (expletive deleted) keels over, the US will be a better place.

Maybe. Maybe Not.

That's what I said about Kip Hawley. And then came along John Pistole.

Better the devil you know than the devil you don't.

Regardless, we'll all be a lot better off once TSA disappears.

 

I should have been more specific. I meant along the lines of him wasting our resources as a life form on this planet, e.g. oxygen, water, fuel, etc. In retrospect, I should have said this world would be a better place. Whether his replacement at the TSA is an improvement or not is a roll of the dice, with near infinite sides.

 

The immaturity level in here is impressive.

 

It's nowhere near the immaturity level found in the morons in blue shirts at any TSA checkpoint in ATL, PHX, or DFW.

 

Immaturity keeps me young, and if anyone wants to card me I've got my passport card at the ready.

 

BTW, I Tweeted my John Pistole parody, and this thread is now linked on the front page of this blog. Thank you, Bill!
