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.

Things are well on their way to critical mass.
An explosion will happen, and the fallout will be messy.
Einsatzgruppen had the same problem.
Beware when travellers simply have to strip and walk into “showers”.
Good call LoL
lol
Put the TSA agents on a fat farm.
Um.........
I knew this sort of thing would happen.
Our Government is OUT OF CONTROL
They should quit their job if they feel what they are doing is wrong. I would never keep a job in which my integrity was at stake.
Sucks to eat squirrel for months and gain a rep for being "difficult to work with".
Gonna steal? I won't work for you. Gonna lie? Don't demand that I back your lie up with another that can be refuted with calculations (CALCULATED... NOT DERIVED) from the input conditions, and standard formulas. No higher math required.
I 'don't work well with others'.

Marxist ploy to create disrespect for authority figures....it is 24/7 to make people hate cops, the military, etc., by the Marxists....all divide and conquer. Racism, Sexism, etc., is all fueled by Marxist obambi....it is to bring us down.
These employees are being used to help condition us to accept slavery. We need to act like citizens of this great country and not allow them to treat us like criminals.
We need to drop the cultural Marxism (political correctness) and use common sense to profile....all muslims need to be searched. All others, unless acting suspicious or coming from suspect countries, need very little screening. We are idiots to allow cultural Marxism to invade our school system and country. PC has got to be eliminated. All curricula that teaches multiculturalism (all cultures are equal) HAS TO BE ELIMINATED. That is the biggest fraud put forth by Marxists to destroy Western Civilization (Christianity)—the only thing standing between them and one-world government.
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.
Total incompetence.
That’s easy to say, but these people have family’s to feed and there is 10% unemployment.
These agents have to be suffering from psychological trauma, being economically “forced’ to do this crap.
Now if the TSA agents are turning into head cases how does that enhance security?
Obama/Biden/Incompetano/Holder are all lunatics.
You’re pissing in a fan if you think those pukes in washington gives a sh!t.You abuse the screeners enough and they will revolt and if they are stupid enough to revolt against the citizenry then all hell breaks loose and then washington will feel the heat.Just remember the damned nazis defence was “I was just following orders” didnt work with the tribunel now did it.Oh and yes I am calling the tsa screeners NAZIS.
“Still, Lipp said the TSA knows there’s a problem. “This came up during a recent meeting of the agency’s disability advisory board and I expect to see a procedure coming in place shortly that will directly address the pat-down procedures for people with disabilities.” “
They don’t need a “new procedure, or procedures, they need to act like human beings, not bureaucratic automatons.
Bean, egg, and cheese tacos. Lots and lots of tacos.
Just that certain amount of time before screening.
And with the TSA agent bent over...in the sweet spot, so to speak...one can achieve relief. And comfort.
All over some really busy time period. Enjoy, you TSA (numerous foul expletives left to the reader's imagination.)
I will say to those creepy TSA agents...”I’m SURE you are proud of yourself”.
I never realized this before, but there are some people that can make plaid flannel look pretty darned good. Maybe if I were a chick I’d like Red Green?
