Yep! Those kids DO watch Mom and Dad, and I dare say Dad....more.....
While I can appreciate the idea that they don’t like having to frisk old fat people. And as an old and fat SOB I can tell you I don’t much appreciate them giving me a frisking without either talking dirty to me or reading me my Miranda rights.

Honestly, do we want the good ones to leave and leave behind all the clowns that enjoy wielding their authority?
Government employment is a natural rush to the bottom. Often people are chosen because of their skin color and who they know.
A true conservative. We should all do as you did...we are not leftist or progressive’s...they don’t care who they lie and steal for....
They’ll be glad they’re wearing rubber gloves when they inspect Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, or a kilted Scotsman.
I’m pretty powerful, but cliff ice isn’t my department. Major broken limbs get you stuck in the kitchen?
;^)
I have not seen any regret from the pipsqueaks who have bothered me at the airport either.
Polite TSA person channeling Martin Mull: “Thank you for coming ... or however you reacted.”
“We were only following orders”
The Nuremburg defense.
I am not hearing of any exodus from the TSA ranks.
Honorable serving the Fuhrer.
If something doesnt change in the next two weeks I dont know how much longer I can withstand this taunting. I go home and I cry. I am serving my country, I should not have to go home and cry after a day of honorably serving my country.
Er, no. People in the ARMED FORCES are serving their country. At a stretch you could say that FBI, CIA and certain other groups are serving also. You simply took a job with the federal government with an eye on the inflated pay for menial work, ridiculously extravagant benefits and retirement, and where being fired is virtually unheard of despite the incompetence and sloth on display. You're no different from a GSA slob mowing grass somewhere.
There is no honor in what you are doing. You have been brainwashed along with the rest of your TSA brethren. Forget all the PowerPoints, videos and paperwork that DHS/TSA handed you when you signed up. Snap out of your personal Stanford Prison Experiment and try to remember that these are your fellow citizens and beyond that they are human beings with rights, personal space and dignity which you are violating under the false pretense of providing security.
The passengers are REASONABLE persons reacting to UNREASONABLE searches and INEXCUSABLE transgressions against their person and their rights guaranteed under the Constitution. Stop pretending to be the injured party and if you really want to quit then do it now. And take as many of your colleagues with you as you can manage.
HA! if people stop flying then these TSA agents would be without a job. No more people to fondle, which in turn will solve the terrorist problem since no one would be flying.
Here's a no brainer solution: Eliminate airplanes! They appear to be the terrorists' playground. Take away their toys and they will go away!
Pervs is right. Since the TSA does no profiling, they won't be able to spot those with eager-beaver hands, and they will hire them in droves.
What airport do you work? Don't you read this forum. We unemployed are lazy just waiting for the government to put us on the dole. How do mass patdowns enhance security? The should focus on terrorists.
What you are seeing are people who resent having to work ANY JOB,
I interviewed for a Controller of a private company who wanted me to "fix" his books. I walked out.
The Nazis have their gloves, but what protects the passengers from whoever has been on those gloves. I am sure they don't change gloves after every feel up.
They are already rolling them out at federal courthouses. I would demand a signed search warrent before I’d ever subject myself to a virtual strip search, and handily enough, there’s plenty of judges in a courthouse.
“Thats easy to say, but these people have familys to feed and there is 10% unemployment.”
Sorry. Not buying that excuse. If they need to feed their family, they could go into something more honorable, like prostitution, or drug dealing.
