Clarification to Earlier Posting
In this posting, I wrote about the TSA people clustered at the west end of Wichita' Mid-Continent Airport. The head of the airport contacted me to let me know they were off-duty. I'm happy to make that clear.
The East Coast Severe Weather Threat is Over
Midnight: The East Coast Threat for Tornadoes and Severe Thunderstorms Has Ended 3:50pm. Tornado watch for the Middle Atlantic Region. 2:30pm Tornadoes are also forecast in the South. 2:20pm. A couple of tornadoes, hail and wind gusts to 65 mph are possible with these storms. This includes NYC and Philadelphia. 1:05pm. The tornado risk has been extended northward into New York. The brown area has a significant risk of tornadoes. Remember: if a tornado warning is issued, go to your basement and get under heavy furniture like a pool table. Of, if your basement is finished, get into the bathroom. Go ahead an put a couple of water bottles and, if appropriate, diapers in your shelter area. Wear shoes. If you don't have a basement or safe room, go to the lowest floor and get into a bath or closet in the middle of your home. Children should be put in the bathtub. I'll update later today.
Then that's what Disney calls "bad show". If you know that you have a PR problem already, then take steps to make sure that people don't see your employees in uniform doing things that might reflect poorly on the uniform. That's why cast members at Disney don't wear their outfits outside of the parks (or even outside of the areas they are themed for).
ReplyDeleteAll that said, the best way to fix the problem is to get rid of the TSA. I'm sure there are some honorable people doing that job, but they are vastly outnumbered by those that don't. Add to it that it is simply security theater and it becomes pointless.
Agree 100%, Clay.
ReplyDeleteIt was one of the rare times there was a line at security at midday in Wichita. Having those people standing around smoking creates a huge perception problem, on duty or ff.
