“Here’s one story,” Dr. Hogan said, “There was this security guard in a nuclear power plant smoking weed. He came out of the bathroom just as something had gone wrong. The supervisor yelled ‘cut the valve!’ so the guard grabbed a pair of [pipe] cutters and literally cut the valve. That’s why we have personality tests.”
Wow, that must have been one hell of a strong security guard. To cut a valve that has thick cast metal, that guard must have been superman. And why would a supervisor in a nuke plant yell for someone to cut a valve and release a lot of pressure or fluid under pressure?
Maybe I’m missing something but this story must have been concocted by someone smoking pot. I just can’t believe this is an excuse for a psych test. But these psychs are out of touch of real life. My credentials are that I work in a chemical manufacturing facility that has its own power plant, so I know what valves look like. And I haven’t seen one that can be cut by a pipe cutter in just seconds.
I suspect the TSA wants another 9/11 so they can make passengers more miserable. Of course if they just singled out the group of animals blowing up airplanes, male muslims, the rest of us could enjoy peace while flying.
But who would want to discriminate against people who are dying to kill us? LOL
