TSA's new concern: Tactical Omelet Pans

If! Everyone refused to fly for two or three weeks the TSA bully nonsense would end. I will not ever again fly commercial. I drive or will fly private charter. The air terminal bully folk do it because they can, it is their one chance in life to be in total control of other people. Small minds and government bureaucracy at work.

Besides, I'm probably on the not allowed to fly list by now!

I drive or will fly private charter.
I'm wondering if there is a profit to be made for a private club that matches up people going the same direction and charters light aircraft or business jets to transport them. It could be argued that this is not a common carrier since it would only provide its services to members (and only to its members). :scrutiny:

In my personal and no doubt biased opinion, the best place for most of the TSA 'airport security' people is sitting on top of a telephone pole. Make that a very isolated telephone pole. I've heard enough stories about them from enough different sources to believe the composite image painted. :fire: :banghead:

I had a friend who flew a commuter run from Amarillo back to Lubbock a few months back. He talked about how the TSA jerk who processed him was a clueless little idiot who had a bad case of cranio-rectal inversion. As he described the guy I thought something about him sounded familiar. Turns out the little TSA goon is my ex's husband (and the guy she was screwing around with before we divorced).

Makes me happy to see that my ex got someone who is just right for her!

I surrendered the pan and can only hope that one day his wife will liberate herself from his tyranny by introducing it to his head at high velocity
You know, it wouldn't surprise me one bit if the TSA guy saw the pan, thought "I gotta get my missus one of these" and decided, right then and there, you weren't getting on the plane with it.

Great way to go shopping for gifts - if you're a screener, they come to YOU!
 
The complaint wasn't about making an omelet pan illegal, folks.

It was about the sheer arbitrary nature of the New Rules.

Screener doesn't like the way you look? He can find something or just make something up and there's nothing you can do about it. There's no consistent, published list of What's Not Allowed -- or if there is, the list is changed more often than the screeners' underwear.

If omelet pans were specifically allowed, the arbitrary rules would still be a problem.
