The work I am ignoring here while I monitor this forum 4 or 5 times a day at "work" is much more important than the pointless "screening" of airplane passengers.<BR><BR>My boss would have a much smaller productivity loss if I just went and took a nap for an hour, and didn't spend all this time here on Fodors.<BR><BR>Let those of us who are without sin cast the first stone at this poor screener.<BR><BR>Besides, they're government employees now. There will be no reprecussions, except maybe assign more of them to the job per shift.<BR><BR>At the taxpayers' expense.<BR>

I'd like to advance a few theories as to how this atrocity could have happened.<BR><BR>First: The "Manager Put Me on Consecutive Shifts and We Had Lots of Late Landings 'til the Wee Hours the Night Before" theory. <BR><BR>Second, the "Narcolepsy and the Americans With Disabilities Act." Maybe it's a medical condition. Hmm, does Tom Ridge's infamous beauracratic chart have authority over ADA administration?<BR><BR>Third, and my personal favourite: The "Terrorist Slipped a Mickey into the Baggage Screeners Coffee Pot theory." I mean who would ever know if it was decaf?

You might note that this was at Louisville. One of the airports that hasn't been taken over by the Federal Government, yet.<BR><BR>My question is, why didn't a passengar notify a supervisor? For security measures to work the public has to participate in the process.<BR><BR>If you're flying and you see a security guard sleeping - tell someone. You're the one on the plane!

"If you're flying and you see a security guard sleeping - tell someone."<BR><BR>Surely you jest! Just discreetly awake the snoozing screener and proceed on --<BR><BR>After all, we are the ones stuck in those lines and delayed because managment feels the need to grab headlines by clearing a terminal.

"After all, we are the ones stuck in those lines and delayed because managment feels the need to grab headlines by clearing a terminal."<BR><BR>Grab headlines! This isn't about headlines, it is about stopping bad guys and protecting the flying public. <BR><BR>A security person DOES their job when they DON'T make headlines. Clearing the the terminal means they DIDN'T do their job. <BR><BR>Get real and recognize that we are at war.

He was not working for the federal government.He was emplyed by a security company-and a National Guardsman found him asleep and woke him,reported him,and they had to bring all thosepeople back for re-screening. Just another example of overworking underpaying people not up to the job.
