Long read. I know this subject has been flogged to death, but I thought it was pretty good. Let me know what you think

If I were a manager I’d toss any resume with “TSA” on it in the circular file. Why would I want someone who would participate in that to work for or with me?

Pretty much confirms what we suspected. Moreover, it shows how government works at most every level — for example the Wisconsin teacher who was fired for watching hardcore porn at school, then reinstated by a liberal judge. The facts now coming forth show support from fellow teachers, male AND female,attempts to minimize and excuse his horrific behavior, all because he’s a union brother. Tell me that public employee unions have one single purpose in today’s world...

Each day I had to look into the eyes of passengers in niqabs and thawbs undergoing full-body pat-downs, having been guilty of nothing besides holding passports from the wrong nations. As the son of a German-American mother and an African-American father who was born in the Jim Crow South, I can pass for Middle Eastern, so the glares directed at me felt particularly accusatory. The thought nagged at me that I was enabling the same government-sanctioned bigotry my father had fought so hard to escape. The fellow writing the article apparently didn't learn anything from 9/11. No wonder he worked for TSA

“Every now and then, a passenger would throw up two middle fingers during his or her scan,”
I had to go through O’Hare every two weeks for five years. I let them know my opinion of them in this maner every time they made me go through one of those things.
I’m glad I was not the only one.
