When this came up in the media a few weeks ago, that was my first thought: “they are unionized, this is what they do”
Well, yeah.
I hold them in contempt.
That's on a good day, when I'm not holding them beneath contempt.
Wait until Obamacare fails and the government unions take over healthcare.
And Jeh Jackson and Obama aren’t going to do anything about it... they are the business agents for the TSA union.
When the $15/hr minimum wage gets traction, all the fired fast food workers should go work for TSA.
Someday TSA will go into the dustbin of history as another useless government bureaucracy and the airlines will have to take responsibility for airport security.

The only question is—how many of us will live long enough to see it?
I think if people could come up with a song ridiculing the TSA that they would sing outside the security area, the TSA would push them through pretty fast.
BUT BUT BUT
After 9/11 all we heard was, “We need screeners at airports “To protect the public”
They gave us TSA.
Then from 2002 until 2009 all we heard was. “We need to unionize TSA, ‘in order to be more professional” (Remember that one?)
They gave us a unionized TSA.
From 2010 until 2016, all we have heard is, “We need a larger TSA.”
They have given us longer and longer lines. Now complete airport shutdowns.
Coming soon a doubling and redoubling of TSA. A true political spoils system that makes Tammany Hall look picayune .
I seem to remember a President named Reagan doing something about unionized airport workers. But that was a different time and a President that knew how to stand up. We have had nothing but one world _residents since.
“We work very hard under some of the most stressful and dangerous conditions...”
Vicious darn grandmas.

Yeah, I’m sure it will never happen but the easy solution benefitting the most people would be to keep the muzzies out.
No difference in these gub mint employees and any other gub mint agency employees?
Just standing around watching the clock til retirement, accomplishing absolutely ZERO.
Don’t fly as much as possible. Avoid supporting these incompetent TSA fascists.
This is nothing but a manufactured crisis in the ramp up to the summer travel season. We flew over Mothers Day weekend. ZERO PROBLEM WITH SECURITY LINES. They just want more money and more people. WAKE UP, AMERICA!
To those of us who grew up in blue rustbelt states, this is Standard Operating Procedure.
To those of you in the sunbelt this is probably coming as somewhat of a shock.
This makes a lot of sense to me, as in, why are the lines suddenly so very long?
I flew in and out of LGA all winter without problems there, but now they are talking about needing to go private.
I’m all for whatever approach gets union slugs out of such a critical position.
The TSA is helping make a lot of Trump voters.
I have a dream.
That the TSA will go on strike under President Trump. He then fires them all and calls in the National Guard until new non-union security can be hired and trained to replace them.
I dream of that day.
