Transportation Security Administration (TSA) checkpoint screeners are receiving training to prepare them for the possibility of a mass shooting at one of the agency’s airport checkpoints, and those TSA personnel are being instructed to “save themselves” should a shooting occur.
It is unclear whether the TSA is conducting the reported mass shooting scenario training at airports around the nation or only at the airport where our source, a veteran of the TSA, is assigned. The TSA source claims with obvious concern that his own life, along with the lives of other unarmed TSA personnel, would be in grave danger were an airport checkpoint shooting to unfold.

And the real point is, that despite being "law enforcement", they are to let the public fend for itself while they protect themselves. Most CCW folks are more likely to put themselves in danger to protect their fellows than a good number of "law enforcement" folks are apt to do, yet we are the "bad guys".
Indeed.
My brother is a screener at a major US airport and there is no way in hell he could help save himself, even if there was a car and driver waiting for him curbside.
He often can’t make it to the local bus stop in time for his daily ride into work and winds up having to drive his car.
And the TSA even pays for his monthly bus pass too!
The TSA are highwaymen and should be treated like such. These are highwaymen who molest children, the elderly, and the disabled while demonstrating the LOWEST degree of honor in all aspects.
If I ever meet one of these thugs off duty somewhere, I’ll knock his lights out so help me God!
