I bet he gave her a thorough pat down. And at least the terrorists didn't get to her

The TSA and its employees are a joke. This beauracracy has gone to far and I hope we can get rid of it or make it a lot weaker.

Is anyone really shocked?

I travel (fly) weekly with my job and in most airports, the TSA employees look like they were plucked straight from the streets of the hood. Many can barely speak anything close to English. Most are standing there flirting with each other, with their mind on their evening booty call.

The MINIMUM requirements is GED, clean record and able to hold a metal detector.

WHAT do you expect ? A 19 year old GED who worked one year at Walmart stocking shelves QUALFIES for a TSA job.

There is no security,legal,military experience required at all for these jobs.

YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR here and the government ain't paying much.

They could cut the number of employees in half and double the remaining employees pay. Have you seen how many TSA workers stand around doing nothing? In Atlanta, I'm shocked the scanners can support the weight of so many TSA workers propped on them, lounging, joking, flirting, etc.....even saw one sleeping (napping) on the job this past year. Pathetic.

TSA needs to right-size and then pay the remaining qualified workers better.

Next time you fly, you are in for a rude awakening.....TSA should stand for "Thug Safety Administration".
