Here's how you fix the incompetence in Customs and Border Patrol and TSA.....
Every elected official and appointed Government employee, including all the way up to cabinet secretaries, must fly commercial airlines and be forced to enjoy the fun airline travel has to offer. They get no chartered flights, must go through normal TSA, and when traveling internationally must experience the lines at passport and customs control.
Just imagine how quickly things would get fixed!

One Final Post to Vent!!!!!
I hate the government and especially the Department of Homeland Security. I'm sure someone in Washington is monitoring this, but I'm just venting, so chill out.
Let's start with Customs and Border Control. We were almost pleased with the arrival process. Looked like it was going to take forever, but they have a new kiosk system for declarations. Surprisingly efficient, only about 15 mins and we are waiting for luggage (I know, what are we doing checking luggage?). Took only about 7 mins and off we go to customs clearance.
I CAN'T YELL LOUD ENOUGH ABOUT HOW F;$&Cked up that is. Over an hour just for an overpaid government worker to take a piece of paper and let us pass. Lines wrapping everywhere. And only two incompetent workers. Can't image if there were more.
Now on to TSA.
As you know, many times you need to go through TSA screening again after clearing customs. I think it sux. If I'm good enough to fly across the water, why can't I continue on? Bob Roalef will explain, but in my words, incompetence. First we encounter the 21st century version of Hitler checking boarding passes and Ids. Heaven forbid if you were 2 inches too close. Then it is someone who seems to be auditioning for Comedy Central. If he worked half as hard getting people screened, 3x more people would get through. I know it doesn't sound like much, but another 45 mins later we are through. For no apparent value add.
I know a sure fire way to fix this incompetent use of our tax dollars. But that's for another post.

Final Full Day
We leave Oban today for two more castles on our way to Edinburgh; Doune and Sterling. Spend the night in Edinburgh then become friends again with Delta tomorrow.
Great trip with only one major mistake. I bought two bottles of Scotch. Now we need to check luggage. 😂
