At at least one point the TSA put advertising for jobs with them on pizza delivery boxes. That may give you some idea of the quality of people they are looking for.
In order to get hired at the TSA you have to fail to spell your name and get suspicious of the interviewing agent whem they introduce themselves. Bonus points if you ask them for multiple forms of ID to prove that they work for the place you want to be hired for.
Working at a private ambulance service transporting a patient to dialysis... Patient: "This dialysis thing is so annoying, what happens if I don't go anyway?" Me: "You die." Patient: "What?!" Me: "You die." They shut up after that.
11:56 I'm a Security Guard, let me explain. The security field, either Corporate, State, or Private suffers from the same problems. 1) It's not a First Pick job. No one grows up wanting to be a TSA agent. You apply for the TSA or Corporate security, when you fail to get the career you actually want. 2) It doesn't pay enough. Competent people usually get better jobs as soon as possible. This means that there are very few senior officers with adequate experience. It's a case of the blind leading to blind. 3) Orders written by committee. More egregious in the Corporate setting, but still typical for TSA and Border Control have to put up with orders given by people who aren't there, often don't know what they're asking for.
I am blind, so have a long white cane. This looks much different and has a different purpose from a walking / mobility cane. When going through TSA, they always make me put my cane through the xray machines and guide me through. This is fine. But one time, after the person put the cane through and walked me through the metal detecter, she proceeded to hand me someones walking cane. I told her that that was the wrong cane, and I can walk just fine. On another note: many airport staph think that blindness equals wheel chair. No, I can walk just fine, I cannot see.
"name 5 things that you aren't" is a such a fun question. I'm not a woman, I'm not a submarine, I'm not an alien, I'm not a pigeon, and I'm not a barrel of wine.
All this video is telling me is that the TSA is really stupid. I want to hear every dumb story on the planet for no reason other than I’d find them funny.
Story 5 reminds me of the assault of wearable computer pioneer Steve Mann by the TSA. Mann basically invented the idea of a 'wearable computer' all the way back in the 80s. He even had some custom prototype implants installed in his body to control his inventions. Well in the '00s Mann was detained for 3 days by over eager TSA agents whole held him down and forcibly ripped his implants out his body claiming he was going to do a terrorism somehow.
TSA be like: Excuse me! Are you bringing something that is perfectly normal? *attacks someone for a dumb reason* Why are the cops arresting me for assault, I did nothing wrong!
@@EllpaFox47 Yup. They pulled the electrodes out with hand tools like a bad torture movie. By the time he was finally released he had to be taken directly to the hospital.
I remember being asked by my physician if I was pregnant or breastfeeding about 5 seconds before she read my documents about how I was infertile….lady, read the sheet.
The "Why did you forget your badge?" Question I know for a *fact* I'd have answered "Because I'm stupid and my brain exploded this morning." Or something similar.
I feel like a lot are security or service workers just rattling of the catalog of questions they are supposed to ask. Days on end asking the same questions will turn you into a broken record eventually so they are just on autopilot continuing the questions even though the person they are talking to already answered it on their own.
When saying to people that I have a brother people may say "Oh you have a brother? How old is he?!" When I was at a friends place I began to talk about my twin brother. My friend "Oh you have a twin brother? How old is he?!" I went silent and thought "I said that we was twins!" His girlfriend laughed!
I'm a security officer, have been STA-TSA for a couple of years. Yes I have some stories that seriously make you question that your faith in humanity. From both in front of and behind the X-ray machine :/
Thank God patients in my country get implant passes, little pamphlets with stats and data, about the implant they've gotten. They are usually in German and English and patients get them for hip implants, pace makers, heart valves etc. Pretty sure anything else that will require special precedures in security checks that have metal detectors or x-ray grants such a pass as well. One can show it to the security personnel / police / customs to avoid trouble like the people here experienced. Since there are so many possible medical devices installed on or in the human body there is no way security can learn about every single device possible
I did once, on a day I was already feeling ill so I was uncharacteristically snappy, get asked if I had a card to prove my lifelong/before birth HoHness. Apparently this is a thing HoS/blind people have, I have never heard of (pun not intended) deaf/HoH people having one and 30 years of life wearing a hearing-aid should mean I know what I do and don't get for free XD card is not on the list. I did say "I've never heard of that" because that's not a thing for my lot and why would I...? XD I just feel bad that I snapped it at the lady.
Hoo boy, I work at an amusement park. I get so many stupid questions. "Are the gators at the gator exhibit real?" Like...we're in fucking Florida. We get those things in our backyard; why wouldn't we use real gators? Also, do we look like the kind of park that can afford fancy animatronics? We're not Disney! "Is that the arcade?" Our arcade has a big window that says "ARCADE" in giant letters. (on the bumper boats) "What does the 'squirt' button do?" ...Do I really need to explain why this is stupid? "Where are the go-karts?" We're a small park; you can stand at one end and see the other end. And in the place where people ask me that, they can fucking see the tracks!
I am a truck driver. I did not have a trailer. I got pulled into a agriculture checkpoint. Officer asks me, "what are you hauling?" I leaned out the window looking back towards where a trailer would be then back at the officer & replied "sailboat fuel" he just said "thanks" & waved me through
Speaking of dumb TSA agents.... Also the one a few yers back that confiscated a "metal star, probably some kind of weapon. throwing stars are banned on aircraft" The issue however is that, seizing the Medal of Honer from an awardee is a federal crime...
Story #40 - was he attempting a german, a swedish, a norweigan or crazy dialect? Because my word it sounded like a combination of 1,2 and 4... (got a laugh out of me though)
I work two jobs, and my favorite thing is running into one of my non-retail coworkers at my retail job. "You work here?" Nah, I just stole a walkie and made myself a name tag. Did you know they let me do this for free??
Ah yes... The wonderful act of speaking to TSA. My boyfriend is in the military and a hunter. You can imagine that his backback (he used his military backback as he was traveling for a kind of exchange program. Small group so flying regular airline) came up positive for explosives. Of course. The thing had been used to transport his gloves, and field uniform after being on the range and it has been set down in transport vehicles that are also used for munitions crates... So yeah... Wearing a uniform and a lot of explanation and some actually knowledgeable supervisor later and he was waved through. This time traveling privately he still had both his hunting license and military ID with him. Just in case. Some of the clothes he took had been out hunting and he bought a laser range finder in the US. And he didn't want to take chances with TSA questioning that thing on their first domestic leg of their flight back to germany. Apparently this time everything went well and without questions. But apparently TSA has been that way for a long time. Years ago a hunting buddy of my boyfriends grandfather got flagged for explosives residue on his binoculars. Further test revealed it was residue of gunpowder. He was also a hunter. They were hunting binoculars. It took way to long to get someone who understood why hunting binoculars would come into contact with both unburnt powder residue and fouling commonly found on the hands and clothing of people who have just used firearms. No wonder how binoculars that have been right next to a gun for quite a number of shots would be positive for that...
I...I know that jobs can be hard, and sometimes there's cases that don't fit inside the rules and you need to figure stuff out but...'why can't you remove a part of your skull' feels like a question no reasonable human being would ever ask. And I say this having worked retail in a place where people expected me to have brands different stores carry or be able to transfer stuff from one store to another in a matter of minutes when the stores are a two-hour drive apart. How do you not understand 'It is part of my body'?
I had a phone number that was one off from a Baptist church. Never have I dealt with so many rude stubborn people. I finally resorts to answering when they asked if this was the church. "Yes, but the pastor isn't here now. THIS GOD MAY I HELP YOU?" It didn't help.
Story 7. My aunt has a similar problem with TSA. Her name is Cindy, just Cindy, and the TSA agent kept insisting on calling her Cynthia. My aunt actually had to put her license and show them for it to click.
I visited a close friend in the USA for the 2nd time in a year and TSA pulled me aside to repeatedly accuse me of having stayed in the US for the entire 8 months between visits. I was going through customs INTO the US with the other 300+ people who had just got off the plane from Heathrow. When I pointed this out they accused me of wanting to illegally immigrate, and when I told them "No, I have a house and a job and a family at home in the UK" they kept asking me "WHY don't you want to immigrate into the US?" 🤣
A few years back I had a job that involved helping people use publicly available computers for some administrative procedures. If they could fill up the forms on their own, good, I was available if they had any question. But some people were, well, basically "computer illeterate". No shame in that, can be for a number of reasons, everyone has their own life path. With those, I stayed with them all throughout the form, basically asking them the questions and how to fill them up, and tried to teach them the bascis on how to use the mouse and keyboard. You can imagine the sheer number of stupid questions I had to ask for which the answer was obvious just by looking at them (eg: "are you, Mr. 70-years-old-man, currently pregnant?"). But I never had any trouble with it, because I always started the process with a simple announcement: "We'll now go through the whole form together. All questions, even stupid ones. We just have to do it. Brace yourself." Never had a weird look thrown at me, and whenever we got close to one it quickly turned into a few shared laughs.
The only time on The Big Bang Theory Sheldon told a joke that was actually funny: "Heisenberg was driving and a cop pulled him over. "You were going 80 miles an hour." "Dam. Now I don't know where I am." 9:10 "Why did you forget your badge?" "Because I'm stupid." "Are you really that dumb?" "I'm standing here talking to you instead of doing my work." 15:00 Tell the D.I. "Because we live in the eye of a blue eyed giant named Mulumba, Drill Sargent Sir."
Anyone who's doing security of any kind should really get some training on what various medical devices look like. Like these are things people usually can't go without (or even remove), and it'd be a hell of a lawsuit stopping someone from entering a government building or going through TSA from bringing medical devices they can't be without.
I work on the railway. I had a guy about a month ago come up to me and tell me he doesn’t have a ticket for the train, but asked if he can go for free for being honest …
8:15 Same thing happened to me when I was working at Toys R Us. I’m a male with long blonde hair and a woman asked me what dyes did I use to get that color. I told her the only thing I put in my hair is shampoo and conditioner. She responded with I know you’re a guy and it’s embarrassing to admit you dye your hair cause no one can have natural hair that looks like that. Wish I had a good response cause saying it’s my natural hair over and over didn’t work. Lol
13:36 how could they not be worried about the gunpowder? lol my parents got the metaphorical riot act because they innocently pulled over by the local airport without anything resembling weapon paraphernalia.
9 months pregnant and working? This must be the US where you don’t have maternity leave by law. Where I live, maternity leave can start from 11 weeks before your due date - so when you are a little over 6 months pregnant. You get up to 52 weeks maternity leave
I've worked retail long enough to write a novel on the dumbest things I've been asked, but the dumbest "out of nowhere" kind? I think my wildest one was when I worked in the print center of a store. Had this older lady who called the store's number, sat through multiple menu options to get to mine (the literal last one) just to ask if she could use dry erase markers on a mirror. Of all the stores and all the different menu options... Why the print center of a store that doesn't even sell mirrors?? The answer was yes, btw. You can. If the mirror is made of glass, plastic might stain a bit. But still. Why??? 😂 Nice lady though.
The bank close to me went bankrupt like 9 years before i got my new phone number. And i got calls like 90 times every day. I always just pick up and say "no, this isnt (insert bank name here), i dont even know how you got this number, its been bankrupt for 9 years" and hang up after they always give some bullshit answer like "But its always been this number"
the glasses question make sense, I wear glasses to read and handle very close up tasks, but i see well enough to drive without themSometimes i get a funny look when asked as I take my glasses off and sy, "No, I don't" yes, I have had to explain a few times, but I can pass the eye test without them, which is all they Really care about here.
my dad had a nero thing in his back that helped with pain and had to have a letter from his doctor and had a card in his wallet so he did not have to go through the x-ray when he flew and he never had any issues with them.
I had a really uncomfortable conversation on the bus when I was a 6 grader. My 7 grader friends asked me if I he was milk chocolate or dark chocolate I honestly just stood there in silence. Then he asked if I was into boys or girls I barely even knew at that age. He said he was into boys right then it was my stop so I just said, that’s … fine. 😬
Very interesting. Never encountered stupid TSA in Atlanta. Not sure what they’re apparently smoking in other cities airports, but it must be pretty good shit. Then again, it’s either this, or the TSA gets roasted for allowing someone potentially dangerous through. What choice do you think they’re going to make in the end?
So I was coming home from from Virginia I had leggings under my skirt so I wouldn’t chafe. Anyway I go through the screening and this TSA agent pulls me aside. I need to pat you down. I look confused and say ok. My husband is putting on his shoes. This TSA agent looks at me and she says “Do you know you know you are wearing leggings?” Completely dumbfounded I say yes. She tells me that is how some people smuggle drugs in the folds of their leggings. I did have my leggings folded up because it was summer and I wanted my legs to breathe but my thighs not to chafe crazy

"Why don't we just stop counting covid cases, so there won't be any more covid?"

Hoo boy, I work at an amusement park. I get so many stupid questions.
"Are the gators at the gator exhibit real?"
Like...we're in fucking Florida. We get those things in our backyard; why wouldn't we use real gators? Also, do we look like the kind of park that can afford fancy animatronics? We're not Disney!
"Is that the arcade?"
Our arcade has a big window that says "ARCADE" in giant letters.
(on the bumper boats) "What does the 'squirt' button do?"
...Do I really need to explain why this is stupid?
"Where are the go-karts?"
We're a small park; you can stand at one end and see the other end. And in the place where people ask me that, they can fucking see the tracks!
They may be testing little too much of alcohol
That last one tho 😂

The bank close to me went bankrupt like 9 years before i got my new phone number. And i got calls like 90 times every day. I always just pick up and say "no, this isnt (insert bank name here), i dont even know how you got this number, its been bankrupt for 9 years" and hang up after they always give some bullshit answer like "But its always been this number"
I always got people asking me how to pronounce my name. My name is Rebekah and it’s pronounced the same way as Rebecca
At least it's not a Welsh name so they've got no excuse.
Eion for Ian, Sean for Shawn etc.
I feel like each of this are setups to "here's your sign".
I once asked my mom how to make chicken soup out of nowhere. It was 10 pm
the glasses question make sense, I wear glasses to read and handle very close up tasks, but i see well enough to drive without themSometimes i get a funny look when asked as I take my glasses off and sy, "No, I don't" yes, I have had to explain a few times, but I can pass the eye test without them, which is all they Really care about here.
my dad had a nero thing in his back that helped with pain and had to have a letter from his doctor and had a card in his wallet so he did not have to go through the x-ray when he flew and he never had any issues with them.
I had a really uncomfortable conversation on the bus when I was a 6 grader. My 7 grader friends asked me if I he was milk chocolate or dark chocolate I honestly just stood there in silence. Then he asked if I was into boys or girls I barely even knew at that age. He said he was into boys right then it was my stop so I just said, that’s … fine. 😬
Very interesting. Never encountered stupid TSA in Atlanta.
Not sure what they’re apparently smoking in other cities airports, but it must be pretty good shit.
Then again, it’s either this, or the TSA gets roasted for allowing someone potentially dangerous through. What choice do you think they’re going to make in the end?
TAA doesn't hire the best and brightest.
So I was coming home from from Virginia I had leggings under my skirt so I wouldn’t chafe. Anyway I go through the screening and this TSA agent pulls me aside. I need to pat you down. I look confused and say ok. My husband is putting on his shoes. This TSA agent looks at me and she says “Do you know you know you are wearing leggings?” Completely dumbfounded I say yes. She tells me that is how some people smuggle drugs in the folds of their leggings. I did have my leggings folded up because it was summer and I wanted my legs to breathe but my thighs not to chafe crazy
Number 40. That was swenglish. Some swedes that don´t know enough english does this. I am a swede but I know english.
Ah, I was wondering. Could I request a translation?
Story 41: what do they expect people that don't believe in the Abrahamic god to say? This is America, not 1500s Europe.
It’s literally just a joke. No one genuinely believes that God designed the properties of light to make the sky blue because of the US military.
The tsa is American, so that explains everything you need to know.
It’s hard to listen to these until it’s the British accent 😢
What the heck is with Canadian border agents?
