    Uh, isn't that what those security checkpoints are for? I would be questioning the legality of ANOTHER check by these idiots.

    I still maintain that if the US were really interested in security, they would A) turn security over to the individual airlines to handle and B) take copious notes from the Israelis. you'd get a way better product all around...

    Little Heifer.... that is spot on.
    I was at the airport, pre-plandemic, awaiting my flight.
    A little heifer in a blue uniform with a badge comes up to me and wants to go through my bag... "random security check."
    So I move at the speed of a particle in a Bose-Einstein Condensate in terms of standing up, and providing my bag for inspection...
    As the painfully-unaccomplished pudgy momma's boy looks through my bag, I silently stare into the face of the lout.
    The majority of these petty little bureaucrats are of a particular species -- absent their government post, they would be unemployed.

    My MIL is 90 and though not formally diagnosed, is taking drugs intended to treat Alzheimer's (she definitely has symptoms). We weren't worried about her taking a driving test...as many times as she has run into the ditch, into the side of the garage, into anything and everything....we were sure it'd be the "easy" way to take her keys away. I'll be darned if she didn't pass! We managed to get rid of her car through various ruses, but it wasn't easy.

    To whoever asked, in Texas new rules kick in at age 79. Yikes I thought it was older than that! I only have six years to go!!

    Get a Driving Instructor ..
    Look, you do not need one for driving but a proper instructor knows what the examiners want.

    I took my one and only drivers test 56 years ago at age 15 in a manual 3 speed on the column dodge. My tester was an idiot who knew nothing about a manual transmission vehicle and tried to gig me for using both feet while on a hill at a traffic light. I had to side step the brake and gas pedals while letting the clutch out so I didn't roll backwards. I just turned to her and said, apparently you have never driven a stick shift car.
    What caused you to have to take the test now?

    In FRONT isn't that the side of the sign facing the direction you are heading...meaning the back of the sign is facing you.

    Not to mention most stop signs are not positioned where you can see both left and right, after you stop for a second you end up having to poke your nose out to see if anyone is coming.

    Question: was she smokin dope?...asking for a friend.

    You should take the test in my RAM, it parallel parks itself. I'd never back up at 25 mph, but when I do backup I mostly use the rear camera, and the sensors won't allow me to hit anything, the brakes slam on at about 2 inches from an object. When I first got the truck I had the brakes lock up in the auto car wash. The operator just stood there with his hands on his head and screamed at me. I didn't know how to shut that feature off, but figured it out in about 30 seconds. Meanwhile the vehicle pusher was going thump, thump, thump under my truck, That was a fun day, and a learning experience for an old man.

    I expect Florida would welcome you.
    Then again, maybe Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, and Houston should be forced out of Texas.

    You probably got failed because of the Trump 2024 bumper sticker. Was it Austin?

    She didn't like my parallel parking either and said I could come over anytime and 'practice'. Oh yeah, drive 42 miles round trip to the DPS place and I am the caregiver for my disabled veteran son on oxygen 7/24? I didn't signal. In a slab behind the DPS building? Back up 25 mph holding your speed until I tell you to stop? My car odometer doesn't recognize a speed when you are backing up? Ta Da. I am challenging her decision of course. N
