Wouldn't it be a good idea for the congress to pass a law mandating that TSA workers strip down to their underwear, go thru a naked scanner and get felt up by a co-worker or some other specialist LEO type EVERY TIME THEY COME TO WORK ?
It's for the children you know, so we can ALL BE SURE WE ARE SAFE.
PS - if they go out for lunch they should have to strip down again when they come back.
After all if they have nothing to hide then they have nothing to worry about right ?

But Karl.....it's to protect the CHILDREN.
**** the TSA...... they are protecting no one and taking our rights away everyday. Had this argument with my wife this afternoon, as we are thinking about a vacation. If they touch my 13 year old daughter I will be spending some time in jail. I am putting an attorney on retainer before I take any flights.

They should just leave a stocked baseball bat rack nearby. For every grope or violation of rights you get a free swing. That will stop it.
Volunteers think they are righteous people, it's even worse when they wear uniforms and are employed by the state.

What do you bet that TPTB set off a false flag event to drum up more reasons to take our rights away, or at least draw attention away from this minor flaw...
I feel less safe with the TSA, compared to what the airlines provided before. Because of the TSA theater, we are suppose to believe all is well, but it isn't.

We give them a hard time but most of them are nice people. It's tough to get a job in this country so cut them a break.
Curbyourrisk, request the pedophile free screening line when the nice man or woman checks your drivers license at the front of the security line.

The "War On Terror" is over according to the State Department. So why do we even need the TSA?

I have no sympathy for anybody who voluntarily chooses to fly at this point, with TSA atrocity after atrocity well publicized. This plus the recent terrorizing of a four year old girl and the groping of a child with celebral palsy are just the latest criminal acts in the news. Congress knows all there is to know about DHS and TSA by now. There was a recent hearing in March where the game was rigged and certain individuals such as Bruce Schneier, known to oppose TSA and its screening procedures and who recently shredded apart Kip Hawley in a debate on The Economist website, were initially invited then had their invitations to the hearings revoked. All Congress would do was take public comments and insert them into the record. The silence of Congress and the travel industry on these latest crimes is downright deafening. "We're just doing our job" is not an excuse.

Dirty, I'll take the under on that. While she is quite fat and round like your ideal thanksgiving bird, she's also quite short. My guess is 50-60 fat hens will do the trick.
Here's another statistical posit regarding the TSA and air travel safety:
Because the demographic most likely employed by TSA has a greater likelihood to commit violent crimes as compared to the expected percentage of terrorists traveling amongst the general population of air travelers, we are therefore less safe with them ass hats around.

This is another of "what I would do if I wanted to destroy America" lines. Kill the airline industry. That must be our sacred plutarchy's plan.

Here in Houston they have moved in to Bus Stations (Congress Womaaaaaan SJL approved). I wonder if Texas will get these roaming check point things they have started implementing. I hope they have an actual LEO with them because if not there is absolutely no authority there. If one is with them then hopefully I can shame him/her into not working with that kind of BS.

How in hell is the security so predictable at a given checkpoint--even for the TSA employees--that they could have any confidence at all that they would be manning a particular station--as a team--and that a person going through security could pick the aisle at all? It happened 5 times? This has nothing to do with the corruptibility of the agents when compared to what is clearly a major problem in SOP for security checkpoints.

Or just go for the soft target line into the TSA checkpoint. Pick a Monday in the am, load a roller back with a 100 pounds of nasty, and roll it right into the middle of the TSA line as this is still an "unsecure" area.
There are a million ways to hit America with terrorist attacks. The fact that none happen IMHO is an indication we have next to zero terrorism in this county (and most for that matter) and not the result of any nun fondlers in blue uniforms or million dollar level 3 machines.

UHHHMMM, Not enough. Make them go through BOTH WAYS. To and From work.  That way, we can record all the stuff they steal from all us sheeple going through the lines.

Bumping this ticker to add this, since it fits the dialogue: Quote:ATLANTA —
In a move that could affect security at airports around the nation, the Transportation Security Administration confirmed Wednesday it had such a backlog of background security checks, airport employers were allowed to hire any employee needed.
TSA officials said the background checks are delayed, but they are processing them as fast as they can.
TSA also will complete background checks on accepted applicants at a later date.
On Wednesday, Channel 2 obtained a Hartsfield-Jackson International airport internal security memo detailing the policy shift, but the TSA said the policy affects airports across the country. Late Wednesday afternoon, the TSA said the Atlanta backlog was resolved. There was no mention of backlogs around the country.
Before the change, any new employee was required to undergo both a TSA criminal background check and a security threat analysis because of access to certain security areas off limits to civilians.
In a statement from Washington, TSA spokesman Jon Allen said, "The TSA was recently made aware that a newly implemented change to the system used to process airline and airport employee background checks resulted in a delay for requests submitted through the American Association of Airport Executives. The cause of the issue was quickly identified, and TSA and AAAE have worked together to implement a solution."
Allen also said TSA has given airport employers "interim regulatory relief," meaning it's allowing them to hire people without the completed background checks. http://www.wsbtv.com/news/news/local/tsa....
