“I personally didn’t read it as a direct threat.”

Well I did and it’s not the first threat I’ve seen or heard about.

“How can you justify a TSA employee humiliating a breast cancer survivor.”

I never did justify that but I’m also not going to hold my family member accountable for something someone else did.

“You are either a soldier for the government or you love your country.”

What are you saying? If my family member doesn’t quit, then he doesn’t love his country? Unbelievable!

“Will citizens,report if they have a garden, report if they are meeting in groups? If that is their respective “job”, do you give them a pass? Just a thought.”

Here’s a thought...I mind my own business...I don’t turn anyone in and I wouldn’t ever dream of doing such a thing. We are talking about airport security here and you are going into all kinds of directions. If an AMERICAN works for TSA, suddenly that person is an agent of the government and spies on friends and neighbors. With all due respect, my family member does the security and goes home to his family...that is all.

“With all due respect, my family member does the security and goes home to his family ... that is all”.

What has occurred with this economy is that many people don’t have the option to just quit. They have financial responsibilities like putting food on the table and clothes on their backs. You misunderstood the entire scope of my thoughts. I am sure many of the TSA employees (whether American or not) don’t want this part of their job; however, THEY HAVE BECOME AGENTS OF THE GOVERNMENT. They may be “following orders” and going home to their families each night but at what cost to the liberties of others? Would your family member tolerate this type of treatment for his own family? Where is the cutoff that your family member wouldn’t do? No, we are not talking about “AIRPORT SECURITY HERE”... IT IS MUCH MORE THAN THAT. Security from tugging on some person’s colostomy bag? Security from strip searching a little boy in public? Meanwhile, the idea that Muslim women can pat themselves down AND not targeting Muslims. So, your concept of security and my concept of security are really different. Look at the big picture with respect to “spying”... this is a test. Will regular citizens become agents of the government without question as to what they are really doing or accomplishing. It’s all part of the job, right? Just a thought.
