With millions of travelers already having taken to the skies for the Thanksgiving holiday — and with more on the way — and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) under a vaccine mandate potentially taxing its processing speeds, holiday travelers will need to prepare for possibly substantial wait times at Sea-Tac Airport.

Sea-Tac Airport on how to skip TSA lines during Thanksgiving travel rush

成人X站 Radio鈥檚 Tom Tangney and John Curley put their heads together and debated the relevancy of the TSA, and just how necessary it is 20 years after its inception.

Curley鈥檚 perspective is colored by the fact that he always seems to require additional screening, something which Tangney blames on him being a 鈥減apa hotel.鈥�

As by Mental Floss in an interview with former TSA agents, the term allegedly refers to internal TSA code for attractive airline passengers, called out as such before they reach security screens. That may or may not be the reason Curley is ritually harassed at the airport.

鈥淲henever I get in the walk-in scanner, I place my feet correctly, and I put up the double bird up over my head, and say, 鈥楤lank the government, blank the government, blank the government鈥� before I get the radiation blast,鈥� Curley said during Monday鈥檚 edition of 成人X站 Radio鈥檚 Tom and Curley Show.

鈥淚 hardly ever make it through without a, 鈥楽ir, I just need to check your left glute,鈥�” he said.

Regardless of the real reason for his regular pat-down, Curley is not interested in preserving the airline security in its current form.

鈥淭he whole thing is just an absolute joke. Every time they do a test on these guys, they never catch the actual weapons they鈥檙e supposedly paid to find,鈥� he said.

鈥淔ind some other system, because this is nothing more than a carnival,鈥� he added.

Tangney’s approach might more practical. He figures that whatever TSA is able to accomplish, it鈥檚 better than not having it at all.

鈥淢y hunch is, because we go to all this theatrical trouble, it may seem in a lot of cases that it does discourage the terrorists from trying anything,鈥� Tangney added. 鈥淚t’s not like I have any desire to stand in long lines and have to take my shoes off. But it just seems to me that if it prevents shoe bombers, it’s worth it to me.鈥�

They both agreed that airport security can be a thankless job at times, and wished TSA well as they work to process the estimated 1.5 million people moving through Sea-Tac this holiday weekend.
