I slept through the whole. I was graded a supervisor.

I offered overpayments to a government contracting firm I run and was offered the Directorship of TSA....

I successfully identified and re-screened 6 grandmothers' bags, while only allowing 3 guns through, so I got promoted. But then I fell asleep on the X-ray belt, so I'm now on paid leave while the "company" threatens and sues the nine people that took pictures of me.

I find it absolutely hilarious that the linked MSNBC page lead story is:
Employers add 162,000 jobs, most in 3 years


When the NPR story this morning was the opposite -- minor uptick due to census hiring, jobs remain flat, surprise decrease in latest report.

Guess I know why I failed the TSA screener test many years ago. (and I thought it was answering yes to "do you distrust the government?" question)

My cat jumped up on my keyboard and aced the test.

Returning to SEA from PUW on Tuesday the TSA folks must have received a new toy. They were swabbing the hands of EVERY passenger going through security and putting the swabs in their machine. Took forever to screen a Q400 load of passengers (well, not quite a full load, some folks were on the plane from its previous stop and it wasn't a full flight, but that just makes it worse). Good thing I hadn't been target shooting before going to the airport. As Bugs Bunny was fond of saying, "What a maroon!"
