<p>Christy Ferer not only doesn&#8217;t grasp that concept she also doesn&#8217;t understand the concept that people get pissed off when you go all <a href="http://www.nypost.com/seven/05072007/news/regionalnews/9_11_widow_in_air_rage_regionalnews_jeremy_olshan___transit_reporter.htm">cutsies in any line</a>, not to mention an airport security line.</p>
<blockquote><p> When the screeners informed her that they made exceptions only for passengers escorted by law-enforcement officers, Ferer set off the metal detector.</p>
<p>She screamed at the TSA officers, the supervisor, her PA guide and, before that, the clerk at the ticket counter, TSA officials said.</p>
<p>A TSA checkpoint supervi sor arrived to &#8220;defuse the situation&#8221; by letting Ferer cut to the front, Davis said.</p>
<p>&#8220;Given her level of agitation, she was ultimately allowed to proceed through the checkpoint,&#8221; Davis said. &#8220;We weren&#8217;t doing her a favor - we were doing everyone else a favor.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>What is Ferer&#8217;s response to these allegations?  &#8220;There&#8217;s no way I tried to circumvent that security process,&#8221; Ferer said. &#8220;I, above anybody, appreciate the security process. If I had known passengers were upset my guide took me to the front of the line, I would have apologized.&#8221;</p>
<p>The older I get the more I realize politicians and apparently commissioners of any sort are just as dumb as the guy pumping your gas (no offense to any gas station attendants who read this site) they just happen to be well connected dumb schnooks.</p>
<p>I remember when I was young my father telling me I should go into politics, make my mark and so on.  Now that I have some perspective on the situation I wonder if it wasn&#8217;t his backhanded way of telling me I was a fucking idiot.</p>
