PITTSBURGH (KDKA) Passengers may be unhappy over long lines and enhanced security at the airports, but its a feeling shared by many at TSA.
Theres a lot more tension both by officers, fellow officers, and passengers, one Pittsburgh TSA officer told KDKAs Jon Delano in an exclusive interview.
TSA officers dont like the new aggressive pat-downs of passengers either.
I truly feel that it is morally and ethically wrong to do it, the agent noted. This does not make flying safer. Its just taking away American citizens rights. And all the horror stories at other airports only make things worse.
Everybody shudders when they hear that because they know that is not what were supposed to be doing, the agent said.
We are all outraged.
We can squeeze tighter than they can.
They forget from time to time who is boss.

Always a pleasure.
“Terrorists may kill a few... those who take our freedoms get us ALL.”
I pick getting an uncomfortable pat down over a single person dying any day. This is the same kind of mentality that led to the possibility of 9/11 happening. As people get crazier we have to keep stepping it up to protect every one else. How can you even say that.
I "say that" because I took an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States... which happens to include the 4th Amendment.
I'm not willing to give up ANY of my rights. Some things are worth dying for. I guess you are willing to give up your right to keep and bear arms because those "evil guns" are dangerous.
Yeah, better that we should all give up our guns rather than a "single person dying any day".
Again, welcome to FR. I predict a short stay. 99.9% of the folks here value LIBERTY over all else. I doubt you end up liking it here.
