You should go to an airport and just refuse and head on up. Thats what the OP should do too. That will show President Obama want it

Let me know how it turns out.

Jack booted thugs, pedophiles and drug smugglers (TSA agents) are not protected classes.

I'm surprised at you Edward.
TSA screeners with less than one year of experience may make between $12.11 and $14.90 per hour. The rate may increase by variables such as airport location and airport size. The yearly salary for someone with less than one year is around $29,808. For a more experienced worker, with one to four years of experience, the annual salary is between $30,252 and $38,660. Long time employees and those with more experience or at an officer level can make up to $40,314. New applicants with TSA are often required to work part-time for two years or more before being offered a full time position. Part-time positions with the TSA pay about $14 per hour.

Plus the have all the bene's of being Federal employess, with collective bargaining.
They claim to have high injury rates, due to lifting people bags, having to stand, and stress of uncooperative passangers.

I like how this story was pointed out as a hoax but people keep rambling on about it like it's real.
