[Editor's Note: This e-mail exchange is between two individuals who work for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) at US airports. The real purpose behind the long wait and the excessive security gauntlet at airports is to make people frustrated enough that travellers will submit to an in-depth background check with the TSA along with iris ID maping and other Big Brother tracking gambits so that you can get on a flight without the 2 hour hassle. And sure enough, the same day I get this exchange from Brenda Negri, I find a story from the Star Tribune (San Francisco) outlining that very subject...Ken Adachi]

JESUS, Janice! Some story, have you passed it on to the USA News guy, I hope. All smoke and mirrors, most of this. And those at the highest echelons are definitely part of the cover up.

Brenda,

Thank you for the story. It does not surprise me in the least though. My true concern is that those demi gods at TPA would let something like this slide. Case in point. We had an incident where one of my baggage screeners came up to me and told me a passenger on a NW flight seemed to have fit a BOLO we had. We got the BOLO out and there was a striking resemblance. I went to NW and ask for his ternary. Final Destination Kuwait via Philippines. My partner and I decided to do a bag search on his two bags. Inside the first we found a camo similar to Russian but with a hand
stitch US Special Forces patch on it. In his second bag was a brand new US AF flight suit with an Arabic Patch again hand stitched on it. Also the labeling on his bags bore 2 different names then his ticket. Oh a SM was notified.

Whatever happened we do not know. That information is not privy to us ever. But what myself and my CO-Supervisor got for our efforts was a visit from the AFSD Don Kerr the next Morning and an attempt to chew our asses for what he deemed profiling. Only our immediate incidents reports and shift summaries saved us from written reprimands. Makes one think doesn't it.

Warmest regards,
Janice

Subject: TSA email

I came across this email exchange(http://educate-yourself.org/cn/airportbaggagesearch10jul04.shtml) at your website and thought that I might inform you of some real facts. When Psychovida was employed by the TSA, it was very apparent how mentally unstable she was. I worked with her for several months before she was fired for issues she had off the clock that surfaced after a second background investigation.

The incedent that she describes did happen because I witnessed it, BUT she refused to listen to the facts. One was that MacDill Air Force Base is 4 miles away which is the homebase for the SPECOPS Command and has several soldiers and officers from the middle east coordinating military operations. What Janice didn't say that is that she conducted tests for chemical residue and found nothing. The screening manager(a retired Air Force pilot) did respond and explained the contents of the bag as a collection of miltary gear that all soldiers collect in their military service. I have dozens of military patches and uniform articles myself.

Janice and Brenda both have a history of integrity issues but it's your website and you can choose to post whatever.
