The TSA Invites The Public To Say Good Things About The Agency.
Silence Follows
By ANN Senior Correspondent Kevin "Hognose" O'Brien
What would it do to
your self-esteem if your "I Love Me" wall was bare? You know about
"I love me walls," right? It's where you hang diplomas,
certificates, medals, trophies, and who knows what-all else. It's
good for your fragile ego, they say.
It must be pretty toxic for the TSA's fragile little
bureaucratic ego, not to mention the manifold egos of its far-flung
legions, to get so much bad press. So some flack got the idea of
putting up a virtual I Love Me wall on the agency's website.
According to the website, "Here is a smattering of the written
recognition TSA screeners and staff have received for a job well
done." Let's check November's letters.
Nothing here. How about December?
Nothing here, either. Well, certainly someone had something good
to say about the TSA in the new year...
*SIGH*
By this point I didn't need to be Wile E. Coyote, Super Genius,
to detect a pattern emerging.
Now, this doesn't prove that no one wrote letters praising the
TSA. Maybe they just got misplaced, which happens to all kinds of
Agency property with droll regularity. Maybe they got boosted by
the TSA's legendarily light fingered larcenists. Or maybe they were
written in the same kind of disappearing ink that the United Air
Lines used to write employee pension plans.
But I don't, personally, know anyone who wrote to the TSA to
praise them. Do you?
