TSA screeners

Fair Game
The World

The folks at the TSA ? Transportation Security Administration ? have a new way to stay ahead of international terrorists. Their theory is that a calmer security line allows them to identify terrorists more easily. You know, because usually everyone’s so crazy with frustration in line that guys with shoe bombs shaking water bottles full of explosives can slip right by. Starting this May at Baltimore/ Washington International Airport the TSA will be testing a new set of security screening protocols.
