They are, or were, 'professionals', who did their jobs, loved their countries and were usually highly intelligent. The TSA, OTOH, is a collection of idiots that, were it not for extremely lax hiring rules and PC hiring practices, would not have the intelligence to work at a private sector job anywhere. Just the fact that they work for the government speaks volumes for their capabilities and judgement................
“The Gestapo, the Stasi, the NKVD, the KGB ... were all pretty professional, too.

Excellent!
My father-in-law and I used to get into some pretty serious political and economic discussions. He was essentially a New Deal democrat with conservative leanings. I am a conservative with laissez-faire economic ideas. Usually our discussions would end by him asking, “Yeah, but were are ‘The Dummies’ going to find work.” My answer, had I given it, wouldn’t have pleased him since his wife was a retired public school teacher and most of his friends worked directly or indirectly for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Had the TSA been around while I was still married to his daughter that answer would have been easily given. I miss our debates.
