TSA Agents Absolutely Hate New Pat Downs, Find Them Disgusting And Morale Breaking

One of the common themes that people keep mentioning in talking about the new TSA pat down procedures is that those involved must "enjoy" the groping they're giving people. But, of course, most TSA agents are normal every day people who don't actually want to grope random people. Chris Tolles points us to a post from BoardingArea.com, who reached out to some TSA agents and found that many TSA agents hate the new rules and find it to be sapping morale to have to grope passengers. Some of it appears to be the verbal abuse they're getting from travelers, but some of it is just the fact that they have to keep touching people they'd rather not touch in that way:

"It is not comfortable to come to work knowing full well that my hands will be feeling another man’s private parts, their butt, their inner thigh. 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!"

Of course, it does seem like a lot of the "morale" part comes from everyone accusing them of molesting them. I recognize, they're not the ones making policy, but many of the people being groped do feel violated and it's not surprising that many of them speak out.

TSA Agents Absolutely Hate New Pat Downs,
Find Them Disgusting And Morale Breaking

Oh! ...that's OK w/ Washington Ruling Class
They're subjecting only "the Little / Fly-Over" (Riff-Raff)
populace to these vulgar /& indignities....
while they use Non-Commercial / Government Jet Aircraft.

[hedgetrimmer]

Oh so now they are looking for sympathy?

Have you ever heard of Napoleonic law? Guilty until proven innocent. Every passanger is guilty until they pass an invasive unconstitutional ‘test’. Do you see how disgusting this is to America?

That is why the TSA and their totalitarianism is so distasteful to Americans. It is the antithesis of American law, innocent until proven guilty.

the US Supreme court will rule that government can treat people however government wants.

This country is governed by the people of the country. We're a Republic. We have more shoulder rifles in civilian hands than they have military. We own this country. We make the rules. Stupid rules sometimes. We fix that.

Make your law. Rule on it. Then try to enforce it. Because we're not buying what you are selling.

Leaving the place full of brownshirts and pervs.

Egg-zactly.

Christianity ... the only thing standing between them and one-world government.

AMEN.

As you will see in my post #133

I could be worse, And yes I fear the worse.
When the government knows every iota of every individual we are truly ****ed.

We are submitting to ideas like GPS in cellphones because they have us scared that we wont know where are children are.
They even have it so that we are willing to pay to be monitored.

The entire country is sectioned off.
Here in Texas Perry wants us to pay a fee to drive down the road.
Cameras take our pictures if we dare not pay.

Keep your monitored super highway. I want off.
Where is the nearest dirt road?

Its a sad conclusion, but human nature dictates it.

“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.”

I agree - these are people just like the rest of us - I’m sure the vast majority are hating these changes.

[mylife]

Now Ray LaHood want to have the right to shut off our cellphones as he deems proper.

These people are tyrants.

[Mrs.FuzzyG]

That’s exactly right!

Mistakes?? Naw... We're Ministry of Works, We don't make mistakes..

[zeugma]

The real reason for the “groping” is to get people to accept the scanners. Then once the population accepts the see-through-the-clothes scanners at the airport they will start rolling them out and train stations, bus terminals, stadiums and everywhere else.

We are well on track to becoming a total surveillance society.

Exactly. You'll note that they aren't groping passengers at airports where the pornoviewer haven't been installed. If this were an actual security measure they'd be doing it everywhere. The groping is simply to force you into their porno generator.

[mylife]

Has Anybody Seen Sam Lowery?

[Ancesthntr]

These people should refuse to do the groping, if they genuinely believe it to be wrong. Let Touching Sensitive Areas fire them, then sue the .gov. Otherwise, they’re little better than the SS guards in the camps...no, strike that, its a bit harsh. They are WORSE because at least TSA won’t shoot them or send them to the Russian Front for refusing to obey (highly immoral) orders.

GO ON STRIKE, you chicken-hearted child molesters!
