TSA's odd priorities
I recently flew out of SFO. Going through “security,” I was asked for my boarding pass four separate times. I’ll post later about why even once is wasteful, but four times? I’m not sure if it was the result of a bored TSA crew (traffic was light at that moment…and, silly me, I thought that would accelerate my progress), or some sort of covering of their collective asses, but that is a new record. Part of my frustration is that TSA is clearly underfunded for some of its core mandates, and has a reputation for very high turnover. This is one very small data point, but one that indicates to me that TSA management has a poor sense of priorities.
