Travelled from overseas landing in JFK then onto Ft Lauderdale, Florida and took the same route to return home (overseas). Had to pass quite a few TSA agents and can only wonder: Where the hell do they find these people?

I saw several "agents" walking around with that "you want some of me" look on their face. Ohhhh, so scared at their intimidating posturing. Then there were those "agents" that were loud and bosterious doing absolutely nothing but standing around!!! When we were going throught the last check point two "agents" came over with hands on hips and sided up to hubby (Arab). There was one big guy who had his 12 inch braids pulled back into a ponytail talking real loud to the female "agent" checking the luggage passing through the x-ray machine and she's laughing and talking back and, on yeah, occasionally looking at the images!!!!

Sorry, but when you have so many people out of work who are educated, clean cut, well spoken, courteous, is this is the best that the government could find and I really want to know where they found them. This is the second trip that when I collected my luggage the lock was missing. Geez, if you are going to go through my dirty laundry at least put the lock back on!!!!

Well, they take a bunch of applications, find the worst one, and hire them as a TSA agent.

I've had 'em wand my bare arms before,
as if I had a weapon under my skin.
What would one expect, though?
Who would want that job?
I just smile a lot and hold my tongue.

How about you go to work for them and get their hiring policies changed/updated? Make a difference. Not whine on an internet board.

The OP may be polite, professional, and courteous. In other words, she is not qualified to work for the TSA!

From the same place they recruit ATF agents and VA disability screeners. Their biggest problem is moving all the barrels so they can scrape underneath.

If it's any consolation, know that these people will be hitting the UE line pretty soon once the next fiscal crisis hits and replaced with more competent people or none at all.
