Logan Radio is now ... Airwaves

Suddenly, while I was off Tuesday and Wednesay, somewhere in the airport, wherever that server is that plays Logan Radio's allotment of songs and ads... they decided... let's call it, Airwaves, the sound of Boston Logan.

It's a bit cheesy and gimmicky-sounding, but I guess I can get used to it, Logan Radio was nice though.

Of course, it's been around for over a year and a half now. So, you can tell it's doing good, unlike T Radio ever did!

We have the blues

My supervisor told us today during a briefing that we now switching over or "rolling out" to the new blue uniform within the next two weeks, which is way ahead of what was originally planned (whenever that was as most of us don't know when it was going to be).

Of course, they want us to look spic and span, so my friend Matt from training class is going to need polishable shoes as he wears boots with velvet on them. Which is funny, although shoes are available from the uniform supplier, VF Solutions, they're not issued to us automatically and must be bought with our uniform allowance, which I heard is a nice shoe, I could go and order them, but I'd want to try them on first because I have flat feet so I need arch support and I'd want to see how the feel, but more or less it's a free-for-all when it's come to shoes, that is until now.

However, we won't be wearing our badges just yet, they're on back-order and will arrive a few weeks after we rollout the blues. The new badge will look like the images on the right. (The second image is a third-party trinket lapel pin of the badge.)

A cool new feature of our new uniform, is no more shouting, no we not getting muzzles so we don't bark at passengers at much, but we are getting headsets to communicate with each other, so instead of just supervisors and leads carrying radios, we're all carrying radios.

Here's a crappy picture of it, since it's so damn small. Along with a Millimeter Wave Whole Body Imaging unit, also know around the TSA blog commenters as and other internet forums as the "virtual stripsearcher" which is all apart of the new technology being rolled out to a bunch of different airports, which also includes our blue box of an X-ray, the Smith Heimann HI-SCAN, except instead of having one monitor and a overhead view of your bag

If you want to what my checkpoint at Terminal A might eventually look like and get a 360 degree view of the new uniform, check out Checkpoint Evolution's innovation section.

I got certified

So last Monday, I got certified, so, if you're around Terminal A's only checkpoint, the Delta checkpoint, maybe you'll see me.
