Proof That There Is Such Thing As an Extremely Nice and Helpful TSA Agent

Was it rude of me to assume that all TSA agents were baby eating, power tripping assholes who were put on earth to make your life miserable? Whoops! Turns out they're not all like that. In fact, some of them can even be extremely helpful and go beyond the call of duty to make your life easier. WHAT!?

Here's the story: A woman named Alanna was dropping off her rental car at Syracuse Hancock International Airport after hours so she had to place the car keys inside the return box (it was 4:30 AM). Right as she did that, she realized she left her cell phone in the now returned (and locked) car. What was she going to do?! She decided to take her chances and waved down the soon to be extremely helpful TSA agent and explained her situation. The TSA agent heard her story and handled the rest. Alanna explains:


At 5:45, the super excellent TSA officer walked up to Alanna's gate and returned the cell phone to her. Cell phone in hand, Alanna was able to make her flight without a hitch.

Can we please get more TSA officers like that? [Consumerist, Image Credit: TSA]
