Your last paragraph is indicitive of the obvious bias you have against anything involving the government. Who do you think "meaningful security" would be?.
Meaningful security would be to search all the employees each time they enter the secure area, search 100% of all cargo, ensure they never fail a red test - all things they are incapable of doing today.

You left out the fact that our politicians don't have to go through grope sessions and nudie scans like "normal" people....

We know how trustworthy our politicians are, right?

LOL..
"The current employee was 17 years old when he committed the crime and 18 when convicted. The TSA said such juvenile adjudications do not bar people from employment."

That's the best you could do, one article posted in a thread? TSA following the law. Really? So, I guess this "history of hiring of felons" was really a lie..Ok..GOT IT.

And now "meaningful security" means a change in protocol..What How about (if they aren't screening their own properly) they fix that? Makes far more sense to me. But then again, I'm rational.

A gun one day and explosives the next. Yeah, we don't need airport security.



What the hell is "military grade wrappings?"

Some people just want to find fault with anything the government does. Nobody said TSA was perfect but people in fact have advocated for NO AIRPORT SCREENING. TSA has been effective the last two days. With 100's of thousands flying everyday compared to the few miscues, I think they've done well....
I am glad to see posts like this.

If the TSA is so effective why are their red tests so horrible? In some cases they miss up to 80% of the weapons that go through... yeah real effective. It is nothing but a workfare program for people who got fired from Burger King and McDonalds. They should all be FIRED and meaningful security brought in to replace them.
How do you feel about them hiring felons? Also, could you link to where this was does? I'm not saying you are wrong, but I would like to see which example you heard of.

Why would you want all TSA officers to be fired?

It is very amazing that you would say such things about TSA employees. You are NO better than any of them if you are able and willing to make such judgements and claims about people that you do not know. Many TSA officers and employees are military veterans who seek to continue to work for their country's government and protect people. Others are people who were truly affected by what happened on 9/11 and wanted to do what they thought would make a difference. A lot are people who wanted to get a foot into the federal government so that they could advance their careers.

I've seen you and maybe others post posts around this sub-forum about it being a "workfare."

Your first photo is incorrectly labeled by yourself. Yet again, people who try to talk about something such as this are incorrect. Those are NOT who you say they are.
