CFI annual TSA renewal

Just took it the first time myself a couple of weeks ago... was an absolute
joke. Did i learn anything more then common sense from taking the
"course?".....no.... did it ever test my knowledge?.... no.... Did it record
the results of my testing for electronic verification?..... no.... Could I
have made the "graduation certificate" myself using microsoft paint in less
then five minutes?..... YES..... Amazing....

Has anyone started the annual process of renewing their TSA
certification? I just went and retook the on-line exam but AOPA is now
saying the initial TSA test does not meet the requirements of renewal.


Hmm. I had no idea that what the TSA had on their site was not good
enough for a recurrence. I had the link on my computer from when I
took it the first time and so all I did was go back to it and took the
lame thing again, printed out that so called Certificate that looks
like a first grader made up and stuck it in the files.

take out the obvious to email me

I think MS Flight Simulator had a New York City skyline with
the WTC about 6 years ago. I guess that means that not only
is it George Bush's fault, but Bill Gates also is to blame.

And the History Channel needs to stop showing those WWII
films of airplanes crashing into ships during that bit of
unpleasantness 60 years ago [PC description of WWII].

If TSA does not stop Arab looking males because it might be
"profiling" don't they have to profile in order to determine
which people are not to be stopped and searched?

explosives...StarWars, StarTrek, just imagine, Rachel Welch
with C4 instead of silicone. Or Casper Milquetoast Muhammad
with a body like Arnold, just have plastic explosive
surgery.

It blow'd up. It blow'd up real good.

Yep, it is a common story line... StarTrek Enterprise, ship
hijacked by religious extremists.

My favorite part was the answer to every question was "ask your
supervisor". Um, until I moved, I was freelance - I had no supervisor.
What a waste of time.

Just after Sept 11, I was coming back from Europe, using my flight bag
as a carryon...I hadn't cleaned it out completely before leaving. The
screener at the gate, back when they got to annoy us there, too, asked
me why I had approach plates with me. I'm not sure she knew what they
were, but you've got to admit the gov chart look pretty official. I
told her it wasn't any of her business.

Ahh, to be young and stupid enough to **** off security screeners again.

my fav is when they required locked gates to the ramp at the academy i teach
at... we we all have to enter a combination to enter the ramp area.... yet
the gate 200' away across the ramp... is.... you guessed it.... UNLOCKED...
and not required to be... even tho its closer to the aircraft then our
combination locks...

I have been working in IT industry for more than 3 years and have
worked at almost all phases of Software testing.

Detailed description of my career profile including Professional
Experience, Skill Set, Current Profile etc. is available in the
attached word document


My current profile gives me an opportunity to function and deliver
tasks that range from cross domains - cross technologies including
technical , Client Management, QA , Support. Further, I would be
willing to shift over to a similar profile as i am executing currently
but i am very adaptable to other profiles including being a
techno-commercial interface.

I am currently working for SUVI Information Pvt Ltd-CMMI Level III,
Indore, India, as a QA lead for wireless team.

I would like to have an opportunity to discuss at length my suitability
with your current requirement..

Looking forward for a response and further a personal interaction

Warm Regards

me why I had approach plates with me.

I would think that would be a good sign. If a terrorist carries
approach plates he must have plans to land. When I've had to go
retrieve planes I've usually found the security guys to be pretty
understanding of me having my flight bag on board. However, it does
always guarantee me a spot in the "special line" because I"m one-way.

I think its a problem with statistics. 100% of the people that hijacked
planes were middle Eastern men. However, Norm has decided that for
screening purposes, they cannot make up more of a percentage searched
than they make up a percentage of passengers. Everytime I see a blue
haired old lady standing at the security check point with her bag open
and her med bottles spread out all over the place, I just can't wonder
what percentage of hijackers historically have been blue haired old
ladies?? That's a question I would just love to ask Norm.

-Robert

Norm is still fighting WWII. That's why he picks on blue haired old ladies.
He is also once again pushing for user fees. What a guy, what a guy.
