Airline passengers arent the only ones complaining about the Transportation Security Administrations new enhanced security procedures. Many TSA employees arent too happy, either.
The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), the union that represents TSA workers, is urging the TSA to do more to protect its employees from abuse from airline passengers angry over the new security methods. The union reports that some members have reported instances in which passengers have become angry, belligerent and even physical with TSOs (transportation security officers). In Indianapolis, for example, a TSO was punched by a passenger who didnt like the new screening process, the union said in a Nov. 17 statement posted on its website.

they know that any resulting trails for assaulting TSA agents are going to be the subjects of jury nullification
The war is about to start.
Does the "we were only following orders" excuse still work?
The TSA agents deserve what they get. If they don’t like it, they can quit.
Does everyone who gets paid by the TSA have to get a lard butt physical?
I've never seen a more unhealthy bunch 'cept for maybe in Walmart plus size aisle.
when times get tough...use the victim card
Since it's darned hard to get at the people who developed the policies, folks who want to hurt someone are going to attack the field agents.
This isn't, after all, a war where we all know it's the ENEMY COUNTRY at fault, not its individual soldiers who we simply hold as POWs.
The situation is far more personal than that. I'd imagine union officers, should these guys vote for union representation, will be held as accountable by angry members of the public at large.
Must be hell to be a 21st century VOPO.
Sic semper tyrannis.
Doesn’t matter if you’re a chief or a brave.
Their previous jobs at Jack-In-The-Box have already been filled.
Obama will soon authorize the TSA feeler-uppers to carry arms. Then they become part of his civilian army ala the Brownshirts in Hitlers Germany. He promised.
Does the "we were only following orders" excuse still work?
And here we thought that issue was settled at Nuremberg.
Let's clarify that: p/i"Our concern is that the public might punch the people feeling up their privates instead of punching the people who developed the policy of feeling up their privates and hiring other people to do it, and making it a fine of $11,000 to refuse to let them."
I don't think people are confused at all. Taking a job feeling up people's privates is a bad idea, even if your boss says it's okay. Because it's NOT OKAY.
