TSA has to learn to be consistent
I had to travel via plane this week for training, and I’ll have to admit I was a bit of a chicken and didn’t pack anything I thought might even remotely questionable by airport security. Other than the fact that I had two cell phones, a Nintendo DS, a Nokia 770 and my laptop that is. But they didn’t seem to care about all the electronics since I took them all out before going through the X-ray.
But apparently another security professional wasn’t so lucky and has several points to share with us: Dave Piscitello had no problems getting his deoderant to his destination, but when his time came to travel back, he had two very different experiences in short order. He shares with us several lessons he thinks the TSA is sorely in need of learning, the most basic of which is be consistant. On the other hand, I guess if regular travellers can’t make heads or tails of what the heck the TSA agents are going to flag, neither can the bad guys. Security through idiocy?

This is a security professional who is complaining about human being being inconsistent and expects someone to take that seriously?
