I work for the fed...have a TS/SCI clearance and have had that same clearance (with 5 year screenings) for almost 30 years now. When I travel I usually travel on government orders. As a courier I could call the airport in advance and be through the gates in no time...it took about as long to flash my ID, letter, and check their list. Today...I dont travel using my federal identification. Its not because of terrorists...its because my experiences with TSA. SOmeone mentioned cattle...thats the BEST way to make the experience go by as quickly as possible...just comply. Dont make a joke...dont express respect or appreciation for what they have to do...dont grouse or complain (CNN ran article where they exposed 30 character traits that called for TSA agents to greater scrutinize individual flyers).
