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.

I sympathize with the TSA screeners. I travel quite a bit and have never gotten the impression that the screener took any pleasure from patting me down.
So actually try to imitate one of our gay Roman citizens and ask if they were at “Pride” or if they'd like to have a drink upon your return. Just make it believable. It would be hilarious.
And when do they change their gloves? Nice way to spread infections
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.
Thought-provoking post.
Of course, the ones who hate groping people of the same sex might quit, and the ones don’t mind it will stay, and those that love it will be drawn to apply for the vacancies.
Some things are worth getting blackballed.
nully, who has been out of work for 4 years.
I’m not going to jail for you...
Happened with my son-in-law. His boss was in a very messy divorce and my son-in-law could see where it was headed regarding the company books. And yes it took him several monrhs to find another job.

I had something like that happen, too. After I got out of the service about a thousand years ago- I was handed the keys to an overloaded, top-heavy truck and told to avoid the weigh station that was between me and my destination. I refused to do that.
In the end, there weren't any consequences with the company. He knew that if he made an issue of it, he was going to lose.
I have refused to do what I thought was immoral. I have walked off jobs rather than go against good engineering practices.
make them change gloves after EVERY pat down... if the gloves are to keep their hands clean from touching dirty passengers, then they shouldn't be touching anybody else with them once a person is touched with them to protect the PASSENGERS from getting dirt and filth on them also!!!
PAT ME, PAT ME !!!!!!
Recently asked one TSA agent if I could wear my watch and he shrugged like I was some turdball. However he came to life mucking it up with one of the homies and talking roundball nonsense. We pay such morons to do moronic work and be their best at moronisms. Thanks for nothin’ TSA.
These TSA can’t quit on moral grounds. They couldn’t get a job anywhere until the TSA hired them. They are mostly an’ unemployable’ lot of hoodlums.
I told one old boss “I am not going to jail for you.”
He got very mad, until he figured out I meant it.

I have ‘warned’...
“Don’t ask me to ‘steal’ for you and chances are real good I won’t steal from you”.
oh now you started something
If the screeners went on a sit down strike, wonder what would happen...
They can only keep it going until the next bomber. Then they will think of something else. Imagine a bomber with a plastics explosive hidden in his anal cavity. And then the muslim women who will be able to pat themselves down if it’s up to Janet Whats-her-face.
This whole strategy is fraught with utter BS.
