An example would be a great way to support that assertion.

When I applied for... it doesn't matter precisely what. I've forgotten, actually, but it was some piece of paper that foreigners need, and only foreigners. Anyway, when I applied for that I chanced upon an official who didn't have much sympathy for foreigners. I got my paper in the end, but it wasn't because of his helpfulness.

Can you describe, as an example to support your assertion, what should have been in the speech to make that official speak a understandably to foreigners? Slur a little less, swallow fewer consonants?

An example of what? That the POTUS, who appoints the Homeland Security secretary, could, if they so wished, absolutely influence behavior and/or policy in the TSA?

How about something like: "Any malevolent behavior and unnecessary harassement to visitors from border officials wont be tolerated?"


"Memo to all: Harassment is henceforth a firing offsense. And if it's your word against theirs, you're still going to be fired."

Realistic?
