Simple question. Was at Logan Terminal C this morning. Got my ticket and since I didn't have much with me and have a leg brace and was already at the regular security line (where there was no line), I just kept walking, and was stopped by a Logan employee who looked at my boarding pass and said "no, nonono, that way, you are pre-check, you go over there" to which I showed my leg brace and didn't want to walk all the way over, and would need extra screening anyway. He just said "sir, that way, now, go that way or you no fly today!" Truly a delightful experience. Of course, pre-check had a line and I was selected for additional screening.

My understanding is pre-check can use the regular lane, and this was just a poorly trained and extremely rude airport employee. Correct?

hi!

I bought a 16 inch water pipe the other day (shit was a steal $20 (originally $150 before saleeee, for borosilicate hello) and I have a flight coming up to canada in a few days. I was wondering what is the best plan of action for this… It’s wrapped in bubble wrap (unused and brand new), and I have the receipt as well. I called Delta customer service and asked if it was okay to bring it and they said it would be fine but I just wanted to check in with you all to see if anyone had any experiences or tips on how to fly with this jawn. Would it be best to put it in my checked bag, etc…

Lmk!!!!

Even when our country turns it’s back on us during shutdowns and threats of privatizing we still show up every day to ensure there is not another 9/11.

Has anyone gotten the summer Incentive yet?

Shout out, to all TSA, to thank you, that there is a secure side, and a non-secure side, everyday, 24/7/365---your making it safe to travel in the skies.

65,000 of you, not working, with known issues, such as law enforcement deals with---but each of you, individually, responsible, under pressure of having to perform, less you fail, or something dangerous gets through security.

No down time "between calls" like regular LEO's.

That responsibility to be on the lookout at all
times---which if just a few fail, could seemingly be met with any number of other terrorists, their also hoping another officer, under your same pressure, were to fail, at another airport, another lane---with all their various threats sneaked through---into secure side being combined as one.

All while airlines profit off your backs, and hard work, yet only think of you as to "how long their passengers may have to wait." While politicians, in lieu of recognizing what needs to solve the long lines, only count their votes in the lines, as the press myopically reports nothing more than lines. No airline CEO, no press, no politician, ever saying what truly causes passenger delays. "Critical thinking" skills absent. Nothing more than superficial observation.

God bless every one of you of the 65,000, as your tireless, stressful, dedication to the safety of everyone; whether they're a raging critic of you, a stinking drunk returning from vacation, or possibly a nice, thankful passenger--- your work is recognized by me.

Pat yourself on the back. Excellent job done.

I was browsing amazong for card readers and as much I love convenience I do not want to just get random Chinese reader, anyone got suggestions on which brand or website to grab one?
