“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.
“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.”
I disagree.
“Meanwhile, the idea that Muslim women can pat themselves down and not targeting Muslims.”
That’s all it is...an idea that muslim women pat themselves down. It is not policy and yet you go on as if it is.
“So, your concept of security and my concept of security are really different.”
I’d like to get from point A to point B safe and sound. I would think most people feel that way. If “some” TSA personel are abusing the public, then perhaps TSA should go after them...to hold everyone accountable is crazy.
