Clarification to Earlier Posting

By -
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.

    Agree 100%, Clay.

    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.

The flood was underforecast and the "emergency" warnings were later than they could have been. In fairness, as of the time of this update, 1:30pm Monday, the U.S. Geological Survey has determined this was the highest crest on the Guadalupe River at Hunt, Texas, since the river gauge was installed.  As of 1p Tuesday , 105  have been confirmed to have been killed and "dozens" are missing. Those numbers imply a total death toll near 130. This past autumn, Hurricane Helene killed 249. In 2011, a single tornado killed 161 in Joplin. We must stop these mega-disasters! This is another tragic example of why America desperately n...

2am While the risk of tornadoes may continue during the night, this will have to end my coverage.  Note the risk of tornadoes farther east later today.  1:35am Wednesday: Tornado watch will likely be issued for the outlined area, including the Kansas City Metro.
