Eff the TSA

[bogie]

I had the pleasure of watching my wife get molested by a TSA agent yesterday at COS. It made my blood boil. She set off the alarm because she is diabetic and has an insulin pump. You would think a normal human being would realize that no, my wife is not a terrorist, just a citizen trying to fly to visit family, and that the insulin pump is probably what set off the detector. But, I have now realized that people who work for the TSA are not normal. They are the lowest fucking form of human life. Fuck the TSA, and even more, fuck everyone who works there. I would starve to death before I worked for a fucking thug operation like the TSA.

Bull$hit. Where was your laser designator? That should've drawn them away from her.

They had a field day when i was pierced
Last time out i forgot to wash my hands, after securing a gun in the car AND one of the carry on bags was used during a range trip. They were intensely and curious swabbing here and there. I told the one guy, Hey could you run that wand and swab a little higher, i getting hard and it's been so long, i'd like to enjoy it for at least another minute or two. "WE'RE done get your shoes and move along"

HAHAHAHA

As far as I am concerned they are just people trying to do a tough job. I have -0- problem with TSA, never have had any problem following direction at an airport, and empathize with the fact that they most likely hate doing what they have to do. A job is a job these days. If you've got one that pays decently, you keep doing it, because the grass is not greener on the other side.

You have no problem with an agency that has never actually done what it says it's supposed to do (catch terrorists)? You have no problem with young children being groped and refusing to allow the parents to come over and comfort their upset child? You have no problems with accosting a young woman who has an insulin pump as if she is a terrorist trying to hijack the plane to fly it directly into the president's asshole?

You're right, we shouldn't give the TSA any shit whatsoever

Never actually said any of the things you state. I personally have no problem whatsoever with TSA employees doing what they are supposed to do as they are trained to do it. None of it offends me at all. I also think using the inflammatory terms being used- goping, accosting, etc, are exaggerations of what they have to do in the performance of their jobs. Never said we shouldn't give them any "shit", that's your problem. I've seen the videos of what people think and what appear to be stupidity on the part of certain employees. Same as I have seen stupidity on videotape in many other forms of work. Calling all TSA employees various names and implying that they are all trash is stupidity in and of itself.

How to prevent the TSA from touching you.... "Could you touch me a little more... I like it. While smiling."

I was in Atlanta airport, watched two of TSA's best search an older man probably in his 80's and in a wheel chair and on oxygen. Made him stand while they searched his wheel chair and oxygen. Held him there for over 10 minutes, All the time he could barely stand. These two individuals were very rude and inconsiderate. Wouldn't even slide a chair over for the gentleman to set down while they searched. Tore his bags apart, when they were done tearing thru his stuff, they said you can go. Didn't help him put his stuff back. Yeah my opinion, TSA personnel are scum of the earth and I am being polite!

The examples given are the worst- the bad stuff that everybody talks about. How many millions of people go thru the TSA inspections every single day and have no problem whatsoever?

See we aren't even talking in the same ballpark if you don't think what the TSA uses as searching techniques is a "problem".

And another thing...I wouldn't really base my argument on the actions of the sheeple in this country.

[cstone]

Should airports and aircraft have any security? If you were able to design that system, what would it look like?

Please avoid what it would not be, but provide examples of what it would be; that is if you believe there should be any system at all.

Be safe.

[sneakerd]

So to bring it back..... what do you think the percentage is comparing TSA's worst moments compared to those who have absolutely no problem whatsoever going thru TSA checkpoints? Maybeeee 1 problem to how many million issues? Also- TSA "searching techniques" have nothing to do with the individuals who have to do it as part of their job.

Then you don't deal with them enough. For most of the TSA folk they are *not* trying to do a job. They are trying to coast along and do the minimum possible. They take out their frustrations on travelers. I've seen it sooooooo many times.
