I. Don’t. Care.
You’re not in the military. You’re a government employee. You shouldn’t get through customs any quicker than I do.
I don’t want a system where you have to know someone or be a big shot to receive decent treatment. If everyone — big, powerful people — has to experience the misery involved with getting on an airplane, inflicted on us by our own government, then maybe something will be done about it.
We’re already behind the eight ball by not screaming out heads off that congressmen, senators and their staffers quietly enacted “special” security lines for themselves and their hangers-on.
Only members of the military should not have to deal with this nonsense.
Actually they aren’t even government employees, they are contractors. I’m sure they will be paid well for their time. Sounds as if there was a tip off that contractors have been carrying contraband from A-stan and Customs is doing their job. Not as if it hasn’t happened before...
