Yes… I’ve been to Sky Harbor International Airport literally twice a year minimum for the past 8-ish years. And hundreds of times prior to that.
I’ve never seen people who care less about their jobs in my life
I’m sorry you believe that “everyone” just doesn’t care about their jobs. But Arizona in specific poses an interesting ID problem that requires training. I’m sorry you don’t understand that. AZ in particular is hard because we have “non-travel” drivers licenses that expire when the individual carrying them turns 65 (meaning you can get your license at 18 and carry it until you’re 65). On top of that we have a number of Indian populations in this state, which have their own IDs. Unfortunately for your belief, TSA agents are trained on how to deal with this in particular here. And yes, I believe that people can be trained to read an ID. Regardless of how I feel about the uselessness of their job and the “security theater” aspect of it.
not a smile to find anywhere
Waahhh… people are doing their jobs without smiling! It’s the end of the world! They must also be morons! /s
I’m sorry but this speaks more about you than them.
Look man, I flew through both Washington D. C. airports in the last year. At both of them, TSA and airport police, federal law enforcement were lacidasical in their awareness and scanning; standing in clusters; not watching movement or behavior - they were checked out. TSA in particular was more interested in chatting/gossiping with coworkers than interacting with their screenees.
ID Checks were cursory at best - at Reagan, as I was getting out my driver’s license for the ID check where they scan it in prior to entry into the screening area, the dude said, and I quote: “don’t worry about it man, I’m just wasting time until my shift is over.” I didn’t have to provide any ID OR A BOARDING PASS to enter the secured area - the later of which has been a mainstay of airport security since I was a private security screener during the first Gulf War.
I literally quoted you. The complaint that “there’s not a smile to find anywhere” Is literally a complaint that they’re not smiling. Sorry but smiling isn’t in the job description and there’s no reason for you to complain that they’re not smiling. Yet here you are.

Cool. That’s not Sky Harbor in Phoenix.
I never said they had to smile… I’m saying they work a shit job with shit pay and don’t care enough to do their job properly.
The fuck is your problem?

I’ve literally quoted and responded. If you have no idea what “my problem” is. I suggest you re-read the thread.
All I was saying is that people working crappy jobs tend not to care about them and you’re getting super defensive for no reason.
Go touch grass homie
