I have been there.   I have been through the airport, and it is one place that actually makes the TSA look competent.   Where else would they direct you to &quot;the basement&quot; of a building with three levels of basements, all of which are labeled as &quot;basement&quot;?Where else would the police solution to a parked broken down police car would be to push it out into traffic so they can park a different police car there.   Then yell at you because you are stopped when you can&#039;t get past the car.Where else would they sell all kinds of items labeled that they are for use on the plane in the &quot;sanitary&quot; portion of the airport that require a knife to open them?With competition like this the TSA can actually fit right in.  ;-)</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now Now lets not pick on the TSA in San Francisco.

Rice-a-Roni!  The San Francisco Treat!Jokes aside though, I think its about time that the government started allowing private sponsors to advertise to offset the taxes that projects cost.  I would love to see a giant Nike swoosh on the main booster of the Space Shuttle.  Or Pepsi-cola patches on the shoulder sleeves of Border Patrol agents.  I say dress &#039;em up like Nascar racing drivers.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The irreplaceable 20 minutes of your life spent in this line has been brought to you by&#8230;  Rice-a-Roni!

Blue Man Group, Cirque du Soleil, Rita Rudner, Carrot Top, and the Star Trek actors from the LV Hilton have been advertising at the TSA checkpoints at McCarran for as long as I can remember. Quite different from the other advertising at the Las Vegas airport, this advertising is in the form of PSAs.  &quot;Take off your weapons and run them through the x-ray machine.&quot;  &quot;Don&#039;t make jokes.&quot;  &quot;Carrot Top sucks.&quot; and so forth blast from the 42&quot; flat screens suspended from the ceiling.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Funny.
