This was training for TSA screeners to be able to deal with passengers who are rude offensive obnoxious and arrogant. So that they could deal with them without blowing up or getting the agency in trouble. If you don’t like the long lines at airports try being polite and observe the posted rules. Try being civil to the people who just want to get you through security instead of being obnoxious jackholes.
They would not have to do this training if it were not for people who try to sneak shit through security or are to stupid to be informed of what they can and cannot have with them on the plane. So before any of you get on your high horses to rip TSA or DHS a new one think of that....
Your post made me throw up in mouth... just a little bit... I assure you it was within the TSA guidelines on liquids.
How long have you worked at TSA?
Their blog is totally out of date.

I guess they were getting too many complaints. Might hurt morale.
Rude passengers?! I have to say that as a group, tsa workers go about their jobs in a very rude manner. And while they are wasting taxpayer $ at stupid govt conferences and sensitivity training they are not doing their jobs. This costs the productive class time and money.
SBUN:
You advise everyone to be civil to TSA agents while they violated everyone’s constitutional rights. To paraphrase Steven Bierfeldt, the Ron Paul staffer who was illegally detained by TSA because he was carrying money: “Is it legally required for me to do that?”
We do not have to be civil to any government official, especially not when they are demanding “Papier, bitte!” We don’t have to lie down like a lap dog hoping for approval from its Master when faced with violations of our rights. Perhaps you forgot the part about “Freedom of Speech”? Or the “Right to Petition Government to Redress Grievances?” If you don’t respect the right for people to speak as they please, then perhaps you should resign from TSA before the ACLU sues TSA again for ignoring yet another constitutional right.
Harry Truman said it best: “If you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen.” And once you leave, how about utilizing your free time to read the Bill of Rights for the first time?
LOL .......... Thousands Standing Around........
Or better yet, quit flying like I did in 2002 and skip the airport screener BS altogether.
Way to go there defending the airport screeners like they are all just hard-working people doing a job for our own good. LOL!
