What’s Sky Habor?
Phoenix International Airport
Meaning either someone at CBP really fucked up or this guy is lying. I'd say it's even odds.
Oh it's a lie. Arizona has ids that don't need to be renewed until your 65 years old. The tsa here has specific training to identify those ids really quick. This would not have made it through... like at all. This doesn't look anything like any id in this state. Including the tribal stuff.
Yes... I've been to Sky Harbor International Airport literally twice a year minimum for the past 8-ish years. And hundreds of times prior to that.
I'm sorry you believe that "everyone" just doesn't care about their jobs. But Arizona in specific poses an interesting ID problem that requires training. I'm sorry you don't understand that. AZ in particular is hard because we have "non-travel" drivers licenses that expire when the individual carrying them turns 65 (meaning you can get your license at 18 and carry it until you're 65). On top of that we have a number of Indian populations in this state, which have their own IDs. Unfortunately for your belief, TSA agents are trained on how to deal with this in particular here. And yes, I believe that people can be trained to read an ID. Regardless of how I feel about the uselessness of their job and the "security theater" aspect of it.
Waahhh... people are doing their jobs without smiling! It's the end of the world! They must also be morons! /s
I'm sorry but this speaks more about you than them.
Look man, I flew through both Washington D. C. airports in the last year. At both of them, TSA and airport police, federal law enforcement were lacidasical in their awareness and scanning; standing in clusters; not watching movement or behavior - they were checked out. TSA in particular was more interested in chatting/gossiping with coworkers than interacting with their screenees.
ID Checks were cursory at best - at Reagan, as I was getting out my driver's license for the ID check where they scan it in prior to entry into the screening area, the dude said, and I quote: "don't worry about it man, I'm just wasting time until my shift is over." I didn't have to provide any ID OR A BOARDING PASS to enter the secured area - the later of which has been a mainstay of airport security since I was a private security screener during the first Gulf War.
Cool. That's not Sky Harbor in Phoenix.
...
I literally quoted you. The complaint that "there's not a smile to find anywhere" Is literally a complaint that they're not smiling. Sorry but smiling isn't in the job description and there's no reason for you to complain that they're not smiling. Yet here you are.

I've literally quoted and responded. If you have no idea what "my problem" is. I suggest you re-read the thread.
Such a badass name for an airport
He was waved through Sky Harbor airport, LOL
All right, I can understand “waived threw”, because those are actual words. How did “habor” happen, though? Spell check exists!
Edit: pardon me. I seem to have fallen into the ago-old trap of trying to apply logic and reason to sovcit stuff. Never mind.
Saddens me a bit. People like this remind me of my grandpa. He never got a good education and is borderline illiterate, much like a lot of the people you see here. He also falls for similar ways of thinking. I believe that you see a lot of this obvious lack of proficiency in language among these folks because a good education, among other things, helps to immunize you against bullshit. These people never got that, and it makes me feel sorry for them.
