This is where the TSA agent says "OK, wait here for an hour while I get my supervisor"...
And this is why all government employees suck and citizens should be allowed to shoot one per year when they abuse their power.
So calling someone out for purposefully trying to break a law and making them wait until it proves itself (water changes state to liquid) is somehow bad or government overreach? This is exactly what they should be doing, not something that some shiny happy person should be allowed to whine like an entitled baby over, let alone shoot someone for doing their job for. Your view is really a good argument for restricting the #2nd amendment actually, and that from a gun owner.
Welcome to my day. Now that we don't arrest people anymore my drivers are regularly assaulted by people who feel that the correct response to any situation they aren't happy about is to throw a punch.

We just drilled a hole in the back of the block. The wheels are not up to much speed or distance, and even though they were off the ground for much of the trip the broke up pretty badly.

Got it. So the appropriate response to inefficiency is to fire and or shoot the employees rather than invest in proper training, equipment, and decent wages to attract and retain qualified people.
^I've got the antidode for that!

Relax, it was a joke. Obviously, the threat of a one hour wait was to turn the ice into water thus rendering the claim that "it's a solid" irrelevant.
I'm not a big believer in the security theater of the TSA myself. But that would be the correct smartass response to a smartass in this case.

Everything in this thread is a joke. Assume a smiley after everything I post in here and you won't be far from wrong.

It took me years, but I finally figured that out -
Some software automatically filters ALL CAPS TYPING and reduces it to Just Capping The First Letter Of Every Word. So those folks are the same folks as the second tier, but the bot turns them down from 11. Sometimes this is resident in the forum software, sometines it's resident in the input device like phone or browser.
But At Least They Are Not Wasting The Time To Hand Capitalize Every Damn Word.

Many years ago I paid a service to put a very professional looking résumé together for me, and it didn't go well. The final straw was when they had capitalized the first letter of most but not every word and I called them on it, telling them it was unproffesional. They suggested I take my money back and do it myself, which I did.
Pet peeve alert! This forum doesn't do that, but if you look at the thread titles, it's (how shall I say?) omnipresent.
