But in order to keep their jobs, these Mensa members will adjust their sensitivities and invade the citizens.

So. refuse? not

sell-outs

Some of it appears to be the verbal abuse they're getting from travelers

Keep it up, travelers....drive 'em to the point where they go on strike. Phock 'em.

And what about the travelers who enjoy being groped?

You don’t hear much discussion of that either, do you?

[Brad’s Gramma]

Even worse is having to try and feel inside the flab rolls of obese passengers and we seem to get a lot of obese passengers!"

[al baby]

Wait till we start hearing about people going TSA on a work place

[ColdOne]

Sure

[jimbo123]

Just following orders?

Awww, poor TSA agents. They have to feel up F-A-T people and they are getting a lot of FAT people. Sorry we all can’t be your idea of fit and glamorous. Sorry you have to feel up OLD people. I guess OLD, FAT people are the worst. Then there are the ones with PROSTHETICS. Cry me a river TSA.

[Slings and Arrows]

Exactly! The enemy has revealed its weak point - now we know where to attack!

TSA is already backpedaling on this BS.

Lets hang this policy around the Democrats collective necks!

[MWS]

Good. Now, I understand that the average TSA agent didn't sign up to administer the heavy-handed pat-down policy that has recently been put into place by 0. I'll even give them the benefit of the doubt and say that the average person on the ground genuinely wants to ensure the safety of this country. With that said, however, we need to ensure that opt-out of the scanners and force them to do as many of these pat downs as possible until the government ditches this ridiculous policy of focusing its searches on ordinary Americans instead of foreign nationals from a particular region of the world that would like to see us dead.

Until that time, we make it as uncomfortable for them as possible. This has all just been another excuse for 0 to demonstrate his hatred for the American people. That TSA agents are starting to rebel over this means that we are winning.

Focus on searching the terrorists. Leave the American people and our children alone.

[Thank You Rush]

It’s time to see this from a different perspective and I don’t believe that anyone in that job enjoys the new procedures. Others have been too busy blaming the screeners when it’s clear they didn’t make up the new rules. This whole fiasco needs to be laid at the feet of the imbeciles in Washington....leave the screeners out of it. There will be some idiots abusing their positions but isn’t that true in ANY occupation? We will always have dolts among us.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

a lot of the "morale" part comes from everyone accusing them of molesting them

Well, they are molesting them.
