Exactly 30 days after 911 I few to Vegas. Before take off I was outside having a smoke. (I’ve since quit.) A TSA agent was sitting next to me having a cigarette herself. I asked her what she did before getting the TSA job and she told me she was a hair stylist. And she’d been on the job for almost 30 days. No training whatsoever.
You just got one that was simply totally unqualified. There are other very psychologically imbalanced deviants working there, too! My guess is probably half, by what I’ve seen in nearly a decade of traveling by air. We would be better off by far without them and depend on the determination of a profile screening system and determined passengers if you ask me.
It is my understanding that only those age 13+ are to be subjected to pat downs. It this is so, Suit them!
