CATSA “ faith leaders”

[albertdesalvo]

But what, exactly is a "faith leader"? What does this buzzphrase mean? Does it have something to do with religion? Are they all fans of a certain George Michael album from 1987? The phrase means nothing to me, it's just babble.

So you're a faith leader, whatever it is. What does that have to do with airport security?

[rookiepilot]

Yeah, no doubt. They literally run the world’s largest penal colony.

I wonder why people live here if they hate Canada so much? Adios.

I don't hate Canada.

I absolutely despise KING Trudeau's version of Canada.

You Adios! It's MY country not the PC police shown by "faith leader" billboards.

Same here ! However, how is it that you get a free pass from the PC mods and yet I get a warning or get booted for such truths ?

[Aviatard]

It's MY country

Is it? What about the other 37 million of us? I didn't realize you owned it. In that case there's a few things you'd better get to work on.

[corethatthermal]

It's MY country

We are being taught and shamed into believing that everyone is an "immigrant" that Canada is a "post national state" there is no identity or culture and bringing in people who hate us, ghettoize, and want to have a country within a country or to simply overthrow this country and turn it into the one they left ( Islam-Sharia law) is a GOOD thing and diversity and multiculturalism is a goooood thing ! BOY, have we been taken to the cleaners !
BTW, My wife is a recent immigrant from the Philippines, so you would have a hard time calling me racist !

[Aviatard]

you would have a hard time calling me racist !

It’s not difficult.

You're darn right I own it, along with the 37 million other citizens of this great country.

My comment was a direct response to another poster, whose answer to my criticism of the --- acknowledged by a number of posters -- competence of the CATSA security personnel, was "those who aren't happy with Canada should leave".

Really? And shut up too, then?

This is common theme in political correctness. If anyone debates, shut them up. Criticism isn't tolerated. Just ask our former Justice Minister, who was a poster child for Trudeau's Canada.

Until she dared to disagree with him.

No.

It's my country, and I'll criticize its descent into ridiculous levels of immigrant vote pandering and political correctness, demonstrated here by a CATSA banner with "faith leader" --- (whatever that means) --- all I want, thank you.

I say again: Do your job. No promotion. No political agendas.

And BTW: I'm a white male, born in this country. I am not going to apologize for that fact. I have a right to have my voice heard in Trudeau's version of Canada, too.

It was meant to be a humorous comment. I didn’t realize you’d get triggered. Safe place .... safe place...

[Cessna 180]

That's why it's called theatrical security or the illusion of security.

I get most of my crap confiscated on the return trip, be it toothpaste, or otherwise. One of my coworkers (non pilot) has a back pack that he uses for carry-on. One day they found a .22LR (small rim fire bullet) in his bag, they lost their shit! Funny part was that bag has been through security several times already. He hadn't been shooting with that bag in quite a while.

that was really fun when they found a 9mm in my bag in china..

[C-GGGQ]

I had gone out shooting with my wife and grandfather. I had picked up the brass as we shot and tossed it in acoat pocket. Packed the coat into my luggage and forgot about the brass. All I got at security was "uh.. do you have spent ammo in your bag"
".... Oh shit! yeah in my coat!"
"I mean... Do you want to keep it? You can go declare it.."
"No I don't need it."
"Ok" just throws it out

[switchflicker]

Which airport has this kind of common sense security folks?

No it wasn't

[jakeandelwood]

There is a whole bunch of them with a variety of hobbies or personality desceiptions.

Probably an attempt to humanize security folks. A bit awkward maybe, but I don't see a political angle.

I guess there are none that say; "I listen to death metal, drink beer and I'm a screening officer"

That would be at least amusing.

[corethatthermal]

I'm a far right conservative, listen to Alabama, support Donald Trump and am a screening officer !

[corethatthermal]

I am a transvestite, I walk to work to save the planet, I listen to Nickleback, support Justin Trudeau and am a screening officer ! Now that one would get on the board, not the other one !

Everything the government does has a political angle. It would be pure ignorance to think otherwise !

[EPR]

I agree with Rookiepilot, we have gone waayy too far left of track as a Country...I hope we change course in October!

Fredericton NB. You have to go put your own checked luggage through the scanner it's so small. But I never seem to have screening issues. Usually older more experienced security personnel.
