Even airport TSA agents don't really believe they're making much of a difference. Or so suggests Jason Harrington, a former Transportation Security Administration employee who's written a revealing piece for Politico on what it's like to work for the agency on the ground floor. Harrington writes that many of his coworkers found their orders questionable, from selecting people for enhanced screenings based on their nationality to the broad use of full-body scanners. Harrington also writes that he hated that the job made him pat down children and the elderly and confiscate everything from nail clippers to homemade jellies under the guise of national security.

Will have to mix them up a little Barfing Jose (tequila laced with ipecac....)
I will never forgive Bush for creating the TSA.
Don’t forget to piss in the bottle.We did that for the cops that raided us at tailgates. Had a bottle reserved just for them.
And it’s best to use the pee after several hours of drinking cause it’s clear so that first swig is a big surprise!

Now that’s funny!
Gross, but amusing.
TSA Worker Accused of Stealing $8,500 from Checked Bag at O’Hare
By Erin Meyer on January 30, 2014 6:38am
COOK COUNTY CRIMINAL COURTHOUSE A Transportation Security Administration agent is facing a felony theft charge after he allegedly stole $8,500 from a checked suitcase at O’Hare International Airport, prosecutors said.
Angel Velazquez, 59, was still wearing his TSA uniform when his mug shot was taken by Chicago Police. A TSA spokeswoman said the federal agency is moving to fire him.
Prosecutors in court Wednesday said a 48-year-old woman put the cash in her suitcase and checked the bag as she took a flight on KLM Royal Dutch Airlines in mid-November. When she arrived at her undisclosed destination, she realized the money was missing.
Prosecutors said that agent Velazquez was caught on surveillance video going through the woman’s suitcase. He allegedly found the cash, stashed it in a garbage can and later retrieved it and put it in his own backpack.

Me neither and lets don’t leave out the DHS.
Explains their dedication to the grope ...
Say what you will, but Fran Drescher was hot in that movie.
No way in hell I’d leave 8.5 k in my luggage.
Yep, good ol’ George. Hey, did you hear it’s Jeb’s turn now?
Speaking of the DHS. I saw them on FOX yesterday busting a store that was selling counterfeit NFL gear. Really? What the hell does this have to do with homeland security?

I was thinking along the lines of a Senna leaf extract and grain alcohol, a “Senna and Sensibility”.
