Re:I've worked at an airport... (Score 1)

I've worked at an airport years ago, and yes, for the most part the baggage handlers are pieces of crap. I hate to blame unions but in this case I will. They work great for about the first 90 minutes of their shift and after a break, the quality goes out the window. After seeing these clowns go to work on peoples baggage, deliberately roughing up luggage because it was in a new suitcase or even worse; opening and rifling through peoples shit and actually stealing stuff, and then having to deal with the SS guards at the baggage inspections, I take Amtrak whenever possible. It takes longer, but that's half the fun. Plus I can get hammered at the bar and smoke pot in my cabin.
