[QUOTE="104Feeder, post: 1036151, member: 42554"] The way I look at it is that I wouldn't want to do that job, but I am not [I]above [/I]that job. So when I arrive at the guardshack I'm pleasant and polite as I would be with anyone else (ok most anyone). I have all my zippers opened like Heffernan suggested and I open my laptop bag & cooler for the guard to inspect. If he/she wants to go through it themselves I don't protest. I'll ask them about their day ("Any incidents to report?") as sometimes you get a good story such as the fired p/t supervisor who came back and wanted to fight somebody in just her bra. Get to know their names and let them know yours. I'll breeze right through while they might hassle the guy in front of me. I've even had the supervisor come in to take over from the "new guy" who was going to give me the full anal probe. Sure, the most expensive package we will insure is $50k and that's almost half of what we make but even some of our senior Feeder drivers have been busted for stealing stuff (not at the guardshack of course), so it's a necessary evil. Fighting with them just makes me late & irritated. I find this works with most any security, even the TSA. [/QUOTE]
