…well at least the majority in my opinion, especially the so-called leadership.
Let me explain. On January 5th, a guy went to kiss his girlfriend goodbye, but did so in a “passengers only” section of the airport. The TSA agent who was supposed to watching that section, was off dilly-dadlying, and the guy snuck in.
The closed the airport down for 6 hours, resulting in canceled flights, etc. (I just made it out on the last plane before it was shut down).
The TSA agent, was put under leave for administrative review – but he still got paid – for 2 months! That means he/she sat at home or was on vacation or was working another job for 2 months, with pay. Was he/she fired? No, he/she got her job back.
The guy who went to kiss his girlfriend goodbye, got 100 hours of community service, a $500 fine, and had to pay $158 in court fees. Again, the TSA agent got 2 months of paid vacation!!!
I am platinum status on almost every airline, and travel more than anyone should, and I have seen my fair amount of TSA screeners, checkers, fools. 80% of them couldn’t even catch me in a race. The majority have no idea of whats going on – at all. The rest are probably good, but they are probably so diluted by the idiocy of the others, that they go unnoticed. The TSA Sucks.
