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.
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).
All 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.
It 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.
More heavy rain (snow in the mountains) forecast. Rains have already begun over the southern two-thirds of the state. See 3:15pm radar below. In addition, there is small risk of a tornado, especially tomorrow morning, in coastal areas of Southern California, shown in dark green.
As much as 6 inches of precipitation (rain + the moisture content of snow) is forecast in the Sierra of California) during the next five days. Given the rain they've already had the past 30 days, it equates to an early start to the California rainy season.
The tornado forecast is unchanged from yesterday. The brown area has a significant risk of tornadoes and the hatching indicates they could be strong. During the next three days, more than five inches of rain is forecast to fall in Iowa (orange). The result is a serious flood risk over Iowa and into northwest Missouri in the dark blue. In the pale blue, there is a lesser flood risk.

Agree 100%, Clay.
