Do people working for the TSA have any common sense?

Sniper, I know, but it's a good idea to have trained, gun carrying people on flights, because they can't put a federal air marshal on every single plane, and with this number increasing it kinda says carry whatever you want on a plane, but if you cause trouble and the co-pilot pops you with a .45 to the face, don't say we didn't warn you. I have a few friends who are pilots with major airlines and they went through and did this so they can have a gun on the plane- then again, all but one are former AF combat aviators and have had a little more than just a weekend course on how to shoot a pistol.

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."

Good thing to know!
up here in my neck of the woods in NY these guys are just like some para military group-none of them have any military or leo experience at all
well maybe they got chaptered out of the military and failed the police test-but there experts on there cells!!

Well, they might have given the old lady a tough time, but they DID let this clown through:

I'll give the same warning here as I've given in other places: THERE ARE SOME THINGS YOU JUST CAN'T UN-SEE!

I'll provide this just in case you guys need it.

I read the title and just have to say that TSA has some of the most worthless employees on the planet. their behind the scenes people are usually very smart and educated people, but the ones on the front lines that the general public see are probably lucky to have a GED. I absolutely despise the TSA. From an insiders perspective they do damn near nothing. Just another way everyone has given up their rights to have a feel good about being safer.

If a lot of these these people weren't employed by the .gov they would be living off welfare or worse. They do have some good people who needed a job, and they are restricted by the ridiculous restrictions placed upon them by the agency.

Anyone who says they feel safer thanks to the TSA is being spoon fed a massive scoop of bullshit.
