The TSA

I'm not really a fan of the TSA, but then that's a topic for the backroom. With the Christmas truce in place, I'm glad to have something positive to say about them. Starting our family's holiday travels this year in the Indianapolis airport, I had the best experience going through airport security I've had since the TSA's creation. The several staff members who worked with us were all helpful, friendly, and personable, and made the process as painless as they could. With our stroller, carseat, baby, and various baby-care items, including jars of baby food over 3 ounces, we probably gave them a lot more hassle than most travelers, but they made me feel like a person rather than a number, and I'm grateful for it. I don't know if it was an overflow of holiday spirit, a change in recruitment or training, or if we just got lucky and ended up with their best employees. Anyway, even though I think the TSA as an organization is unnecessary and a major inconvenience, these employees showed class, and I wanted to recognize that.

Thanks for making our Christmas trip brighter,
