TSA

Describes motivation process for creativity with emphasis on intrinsic motivation by Corey K Katir

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Over the past two decades, Florida cattle ranchers have spent as much as $16 million a year doing battle with an invasive weed called tropical soda apple, known as TSA, that takes over pastures, elbowing out the forage grasses ranchers need for their cattle.

The Transportation Security Administration has shelved $184A million in security equipment in a Texas warehouse rather than in the airports for which it was bought, according to a report compiled by House Republican investigators.Read full article >>

The Transportation Security Administration unveiled a program at Reagan National Airport on Tuesday aimed at speeding up security for pre-screened passengers, including members of the military.

The PreCheck program operates at 11 airports nationwide. National is the only airport where members of the military on active duty or drills can participate.Read full article >>

THE ATLANTIC‘s Jeffrey Goldberg is a longtime crusader against airport-security silliness. In 2008, hedemonstrated how easy it is to outfox America’s Transportation Security Administration, forging boarding passes, “forgetting” his ID, wearing an “Osama bin Laden, Hero of Islam” t-shirt, packing a Hizbullah flag in his luggageaand getting on the plane every time. In 2010, after the TSA introduced its new “naked scanners”, he wrote an article about airport-security officers “meeting” his testicles, which he nicknamed “The Resistance”. Now America’s airport-security officials are striking back. This time, they’re hitting Mr Goldberg where it really hurtsathey’re upsetting his mother-in-law.

Mr Goldberg’s 79-year-old, 4’11” mother-in-law was travelling to Washington to visit her grandchildren when she triggered a security alert. I’ll let the loyal son-in-law take it from here:

She entered the machine and struck the humiliating pose one is forced to strike — hands up, as in an armed robbery — and then walked out, when she was asked by a TSA agent, in a voice loud enough for several people to hear, “Are you wearing a sanitary napkin?”

Remember, she’s 79.

My mother-in-law answered, “No. Why do you ask?”

The TSA agent responded: “Well, are you wearing anything else down there?”

Yes, “down there.”

She said no, at which point, the friend with whom she was traveling… came over and asked if there was a problem.

The TSA agent said, again, in full voice, “There’s an anomaly in the crotch area.”

This is, of course, a painful post for me to write. Like most normal American men, I don’t want to see the words “my mother-in-law” and “crotch area” in the same paragraph. But let me go on anyway.
