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.

Way to go speaking truth to power MSNBC! And to be balanced! The only people they talk to for this “article” are federal employees. MSNBC is doing such a good job protecting Big Powerful Government from individual citizens! Is there any question anymore why nobody watches them anymore? Is there anything more disgusting than this sort of article that they just ran?
LOL, I’m probably one of the few Freepers who have actually heard of them, since I’m big into Polish music.
Worked for the Nazi's 65 years ago.
Looks like it's still working for the Nazi's today.
There are a number of ways to physically control someone who is uncooperative that are fairly direct, gentle and certain.
None of those methods involve throwing a woman across the room into another passenger and then picking her up and throwing her into the edge of a steel table, breaking her arm, giving her a concussion and then pinning her down on the table using three brave 200 lb. men.
Help me here, but I thought that the TSA was not allowed to unionize by federal law?

So long as the union supports the Democrats it will be o.k.
The problems will arise if the union starts supporting Republicans.
In closing, you didn’t fall for the line “We are patting[poking and groping] you down for your own security” ,did you?
**** the AFGE.
Is this recent? I have not heard of this. I can't believe this is not being reported...what am I saying, as if the MSN will report something like this. Amy links to this occurance? Thanks in advance.
New rule: All travelers who are not terrorists shall smile while agents sexually molest them.
Make no mistake about it, the threat posed by government worker unions make the ragheads look like the primitive homosexual amateurs that they are.
Time to start calling out the domestic enemy by name and not be afraid to do it.
Zero tolerance for marxists in US government.
Investigate and arrest members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, send the red sons of bitches back underground.
Declare all States "Right to Work" states, no more forced compulsory union dues in order to keep your job.
Defund the marxist trade and government worker unions.
No one will pay union dues voluntarily.
The Congressional Progressive Caucus must be targeted and destroyed as well their allies in the press and academia.
No holds barred, take no prisoners, name names and make these red bastards pay dearly for the consequences of nearly one hundred years of insidious and unrelenting attacks on capitalism and judeo-christian morality.
The days of marxists operating in the open in your face and you'll like it or else are fast drawing to a close.
THESE RED SONS OF BITCHES THINK THEY CAN STEAL MORE AND MORE OF THE PRODUCTIVE CLASS MONEY AND FREEDOM THROUGH THE ELECTORAL PROCESS.
The party is over.
Awwww! Poor baby!
You %^&(ing bastard "TSO" - I have news for you! You are not an "officer" of anything. Your badge is a joke - TSA goons didn't wear badges a couple of years ago. They invented them and had them made so they could intimidate the public even further.
I hope the public doesn't give in. If we submit to this, we will have these goons at subways, bus stops, and on the highways. MARK MY WORDS!
I have a campaign bumper sticker for 2012.
At last. some good news
Someone taped the incident of TSA throwing a woman across the room into another passenger and then picking her up and throwing her into the edge of a steel table, *breaking her arm*, giving her a concussion and then pinning her down on the table using three brave 200 lb. men.
