Princess Yolanda,

Please do visit a US consulate or embassy website and check out their visa application form. And see for yourself the kind of "dumb" questions the poor applicants have to answer in order to get a simple tourist visa. 

Also, next time you return to the US from one of your visits abroad, please look at the walls of the airport where it says: Federal Inspection and let me know how you felt after seeing that gigantic sign.

Dear GR,

     I am just a nobody commoner, a country bumpkin! I am sorry that people have to answer insulting questions in order to get a visa! I did not notice the "Federal Inpection" sign. Is that only for International flights? They only gave me a hard time once: I wore a loose tunic, so the TSA lady pulled me aside and scanned me. I guess she thinks the loose tunic can hide a bomb! Only one time, she did not ask any insulting questions, Thank God!

    Back to the article, OJ Simpson beat up his wife a lot and killed his wife. Chris Brown beat up his ex-girlfriend, Rihanna! Every country has some wife beaters!

I think that this insane and out-of-control level of sensitivity as to what visitors face while entering the country has gone way over the top.

This is our country and we need to keep it safe , fellows.

GR

I am just curious here partner.

Are you saying That TSA people don't know how to do their jobs? or are not suitable enough to be in that position?

GR jan

Not even "remotely"? are you putting me on?:)

Nope. I only clarified my statement above. I was not talking about the entire organization. "A lot of people" means a lot of people. 

Interesting clarification.

Also , the fact that people come to get jobs at the Airport, The internation arrivals !! to be specific, because they simply can't get jobs closer to home.

Just blows my mind.

GR jan

A guy or a gal who chooses to work for the TSA does it with a purpose. They go through a strict vetting and questioning process until they can prove they have the qualifications.

SO , working for the TSA/working at the "International Arrivals" section of any airport in the world, is not just "any job" you can apply and expect to get in a matter of days, because you just happen to not care about how your mood affects your performance, or that perhaps you were not able to land anything near where you live.

Nice chatting witcha partner.

Hey Doc,

The pleasure is always mine.
