The ever-vigilant ones at the Transportation Security Administration have prepared a video which instructs holiday travelers on how to pack their carry-ons to expedite the screening process. The suggestions will probably not even be known by the majority of the traveling public, and doubtless administered inconsistently, according to the whim of TSA officers on duty at the time. The video, and accompanying text, are available here.
And the instructions are as precise as a governmental agency, whose only purpose is to keep us safe1, can be:
Pack an organized carry-on bag using layers – a layer of clothes, then electronic, more clothes, and then any heavier items. This will help security officers see what’s in your bag.
I guess the bombs, C4, and firearms go on the upper layer then?
Thanks, TSA, for reminding me of something to be thankful for, and that is that I don’t fly. I only wish more people believed like I do; then the demand for air travel decreases, and some of these side-show antics would cease.
My no-fly streak will continue. Thanks again, TSA, for my first New Year’s resolution.
