Do people working for the TSA have any common sense?

After reading this article, I'm saying no. This is an absolute disgrace and clearly demonstrates an abuse of power.

The Transportation Security Administration stood by its security officers Sunday after a Florida woman complained that her cancer-stricken, 95-year-old mother was patted down and forced to remove her adult diaper while going through security.

No they don't.

I have yet to see anything the tsa has done to prevent any real crime
Not one so called terrorist stopped, no hijackings stopped,no drug smuggling-or anything else stopped
The only thing I've seen stopped IS there common sense
Acomplete and utter waste of funds!!!
If the .gov was realy concerned about spending this should be the top agencey on the chopping block!!!
Yea i know-they provide jobs,but im sure theres a mall somwhere that'll hire em!!!

That's not their purpose.

The purpose of the TSA is to get Americans used to being treated like Soviets. First they were in airports, now they're coming to bus depots ... soon they will be showing up at large events like state fairs and concerts.

Ah yes-i forgot they deal with transportation-and they want to transport us all in cattle cars to the re education camps!!

Is that an ironic question?

[SideShow Bob]

Remember, just like the military, the TSA workers have superiors , policies and proceedures that they must obey and follow no matter how stupid they may be.
Common sense has no place there.

Funny you mention malls, my buddy's brother works a LEO up in Nebraska and although it's not expressly written, they don't hire former TSA employees. When asked he said it's because "We're not running a 1930s/40s German Paramilitary org here."
I don't know about you guys but I've never seen a man, between 18-40, of possible Middle Eastern decent, ever look at the security station and step out of line to throw his box cutter and C-4 into nearby trash. I don't think it's because of the TSA discouraging that, I'd firmly put my money on the fact that they don't want another failed attack like Shanksville, PA- we fight back Ahmed!

^ This is probably why we haven't had a huge wave of attacks (old article but still true today) via US Airlines.
One researcher from a D.C. think tank I met some time ago- can't remember which one- said that he thinks we haven't seen many terror attacks because the bigger target is our troops in a more easily accessible environment (IE: Afghanistan/Iraq)...

And those pilots are all volunteers. They do it on their own time with their own money without compensation from the government or their airline. Personal time os used to receive the training. That is covered but they have to get themselves there and cover food. Only 1 issue since the program started that a pilot screwed up and shot a hole outthe side of the cockpit. Mostly from not following procedures but also from the crappy lock system they use for the holsters.
