Classic TSA response, we didn’t know but it was only a few bad apples out of the thousands of TSA “officers.”

TSA agents aren’t smart enough to realize they live local to those airports and not everyone are passers through.

I’ve had three TSA agents get in my face.
I reported all three to their supervisors.
They probably got promotions.

TSA, HSA and EPA.

What are they good for?

Any complaint against a TSA agent ought to be treated the same as an accustation against a catholic priest. It should be catalogued and fully investigated. When there is question, they should be treated the same as catholic priests and discharged. There are TSA agents abusing their stations. They need to be monitored more closely.

Yet, the American people pays good money to be treated like so many cattle. It’s never made sense to me.

Wait until the next time I travel by air ... the apple butter will be a little more “buttery,” if you divine my drift.

Any uniformed officer with a beard should be excluded (referring to the photo).

Well, just have the TSA investigate itself. Problem solved. It’s the Obama way.

I have a friend who used to be a senior TSA guy who worked the DFW area, both DFW and Love Field...

He is a shooting enthusiast like me and we chat about issues on another website...So as far as I am concerned he is on the level when we have discussed ALL the issues pertaining to the TSA and his position there in that organization...

Nothing here surprises me, and it would not surprise him either...That being said, it is imperative that we the people keep up our vigilant observations and experiences with these sub-standard government employees...No matter where, or who they are...

If only EVERYONE who has an experience, wither good or bad were to document and or report these behaviors...We might really make an impact on the way it hires and fires people in the future...

If it is allowed to roll right over people, then NOTHING will be done...

The trick...

Even if it doesn’t happen to you, if you observe someone else being hassled, or given additional scrutiny for no real reason, then I would get as much info as possible and report it...

Everyone needs to step up to the plate and take a swing...

These aren’t “federal” agents, they really are “feral” agents.

At some point, they will lose their sugar daddy godfather, and they will have to answer to the public that they abused.

You WILL see a river of tears wide enough and deep enough to water all of Californication.
