I have an acquitance who's a US Marshall (funny story in a moment). He
travels frequently to retrieve miscreants. He always has an official
letter saying he's traveling on official business, but frequently gets
hassled by TSA. Oh, did I say he has a .40 S&W in the small of his
back and a compact on his ankle?
Story. Amongst other things that I do, I'm an information security
geek. We have our monthly meetings at the local Cisco office, which
is posted "No Guns". Every month, we have a new "Lobby Ambassador"
who doesn't know how to handle all the DPS, sheriff's deputies and
Texas Rangers that come in packing various hardware. The one this
month told a Ranger "I don't think you can come in here with that". He
held up his badge and said "Yes ma'am, I can".
One of the DPS officer frequently has a badge that says "Hi, I'm Barb
and I'm a blone 15 year old cheerleader". Guess what he does for a
living.
