Never mind the TSA security agent who left his post! Damn people, get a grip!

We have TSA agents asleep at their posts pictued by passengers coming off planes , at DFW a security post was left unattended for up to two hours and all we can bitch about is what this dolt did to interrupt some holiday travel plans?

True we should do exactly what the law requires for his actions but let’s make sure the main reason it happened in the first place was because a nimrod posing as a professional security agent had to take a powder and his superiors couldn’t be bothered to make sure a backup was available and ready to act if, God forbid, the agent was doing his job and had a stroke while manning his post.

At the arriving passenger exit poit at JAX, I have never seen any less than two agents manning the exit hallway access. Additionally, the airport police have a manned station there as well.

True. The reason there are security guards there is to prevent exactly this kind of thing from happening. Jiang is the proximate cause, but FAILED SECURITY is the real cause for all of this. The guard who left his post must be held responsible for all the ensuing trouble. He, or she (lest I be uninclusive) should suffer at least the same fate as the guy who slipped through. Once that happens, perhaps airport security people will start taking their jobs more seriously.

Do you have anything to say to the thousands who were delayed for up to seven hours and missed flights because of this Chinese student asshole?
How would you feel if your wife children or parents missed Christmas dinner with you because of him?

You blame it all on TSA and bitch about the TSA?

It’s not as if you or I would have ever done what he did.

This TSA agent was talking on his cell phone and probably texting. Goof off.

My thoughts exactly. Yes, this guy did something stupid, but what does this say about REAL security in our airports? How much time and money was spent to catch this guy who, in reality, didn’t even do anything? TSA is at fault here, not this idiot.
