Why not to travel with children...

In the security line at the Cincinnati airport last Thursday, there was a family of 5 a few spots in front of me. Although the video doesn't capture it as accurately as I had hoped, one of the kids was screaming bloody murder the entire time he was in the security line. I captured part of the madness right after TSA took the family out of the security line due to the disruption.



Before this, he had sat at the beginning of the line with his backpack extended into the feet of oncoming people, slapped his mother in the face, almost kicked his mother in the head, and continually screamed "Don't touch me!" and "Get away from me!" to his parents.

Money quote from the mother right after he slapped her in the face numerous times:
"Maybe he's still too young to travel with."

Sounds like a sweet kid...

TSA is terrible....

I shouldn't use broad generalizations, but since I travel almost every week, I really do think TSA airport security is terrible. I won't go in to my own personal experiences of lax and slow government employees, because this blog post takes the cake. I stole the photo for my post from that link. Basically the blogger (accidentally) carried box cutters onto an airplane. The photo sure looks like an airplane bathroom. I know photos can be doctored, but I don't doubt this actually happened.

In TSA's defense, a lot of the airport employees are part time, which minimizes their benefits, and they are the armpit of the organization. But still, they could attempt to use their brains here and there...

Also, Electronic Vagrant e-mailed this link out the other day concerning TSA, which I thought was interesting:
