TSA agents were never the cream of the crop — more like the cottage cheese of the crop.

I’m a little surprised that they are actually citing them at all

[Lurkinanloomin]

Disband this disfunctional agency.
Thank You George W. Bush

[PROCON]

Adopt Israeli airport security methods and eliminate the TSA!

[PROCON]

Don’t blame Bush, blame muslims and government unions.

[Col Frank Slade]

Yes that’s what TSA needs : more counciling.

I just flew last week for the first time in 8 years. The flight was San Francisco to Las Vegas. Both interactions with the TSA were good and the agents were friendly and helpful. I was pleasantly surprised. Obviously, everyone isn’t having the same experience.

Even perverts need jobs/s

Though the TSA still “supervises”, I think most/all Montana airports no longer have TSA gropers on duty.

Homeland Security and the TSA are creations of George W. Bush
Along with No Child Left Behind & Medicare Part D

Don’t be alarmed by this statistic. I’m an investigator and used to work in DHS. There are a lot of high-caliber people working at the screener level at TSA, to include former/retired LEOs and military. I know guys who spent 25 years on a police force without one blemish and on their first year at TSA got write ups for very minor things beyond their control. Some of the TSA supervisors and managers couldn’t be trusted to pump gas safely, but they advance by issuing a lot of disciplinary violations. IMO, TSA needs to be disbanded and replaced by DHS contractors like they have doing x-ray/mag screening for FPS protecting federal buildings.

All three were bedfellows along with Teddy Kennedy. GW created this mess, and caved to Democrats to ensure it became another failed government jobs program.

Don’t blame Bush (for anything) is just as wrong as the Blame Bush (for everything). Bush was a piss-poor president domestically.

[Polynikes]

when I worked for them I was a lead. While not a supervisor I ran a crew of 6-7 people. I was surprised how some of them managed to get dressed and actually find their way to work if at all. We had some real winners.

[The_Media_never_lie]

Disband this dysfunctional agency.

Then who would have the pleasure of groping the passengers?

[BlueLancer]

"Then who would have the pleasure of groping the passengers?"

Well, I'll volunteer ...

[Gamecock]

What for, praying towards Mecca when not scheduled?

Thank you for mentioning names. The TSA was a collaboration of a RINO president (Bush the younger) and Congressional dems. The uniparty in action. Before you ask, no I dont miss Geo. Bush.

[Lurkinanloomin]

I would fly again if TSA looked like them.
