The TSA people we’ve encountered at LAX were some of the most disgusting, rude, pompous, STUPID, fat, lazy, tyrannical, pieces of quasi-human trash I’ve ever seen. (Of course, I don’t mean that in a BAD way.) ;)
I expect the “qualifications” section in the Job Description is something like, “Must have pulse and an I.Q. not greater than 50.”
I watched a show on FOX last year, where a former FBI agent said that almost everything that TSA puts us through does nothing to stop terrorism. The TSA will continue to play the fiddle of "security" for as long as the teat keeps feeding milk, but sooner or later the public is going to figure out that TSA is nothing more than a harassment squad.
