Default Playing Simon Says At The Airport.

I'm going to add no commentary. I'm just posting this because it was in the New York Times.

A lot of people don't like to read articles unless they're in certain approved media outlets, whatever that really means.

So here's this article about strange doings of the TSA published by the NY Times. How could I resist.

That was a hilarious and well-written commentary on the link. It is really funny that some TSA security guards could actually take their drill so literally. I have often thought lots of the school-yard bullies go into low paying law enforcement positions just to continue their bullying as they got older.

The last time this happened to me, at MCO, it wasn't exactly a freeze. People were forbidden to use the shuttle, elevators or escalators, in other words, stay where you are. I assumed there were trying to prevent someone from leaving. They never really announced an all clear, so for all I knew there could have been an "armed dangerous" roaming around. Kinda strange.
