@ softail…TSA agents make a lot more than $7.00 an hour. Go look it up on USAjobs.com, plus they get Federal benefits and are eligible to apply for other Federal jobs that others (non-federal employees) can’t apply for. I work in an airport and serve several TSA agents in a day (some nice and some not) and believe me they do alright. I work @ a minimum wage job and a part-time tsa agent makes twice as much as I do working full-time.

@fixer, sure this was 3 years ago but I found it kind of funny that your answer to lack of security in airports is to drive more. Even with high casualty crashes, flying is still the safest form of transportation.

What concerns me more is the fact that our 4th amendment rights are being violated with these new patdowns and screenings. Ever since I was 12, I have been “randomly selected” for extra screening almost everytime I fly. The funny thing is they announce it like everyone needs to know even though sometimes I’m the only one there. I get it, you think that the innocent looking blonde girl is the perfect subterfuge, but it just causes me a lot of frustration that I don’t need. And what about people with metal discs, mental illnesses, and children. How do the TSA handle them?

[...] officials, who are only too happy to turn on you if you make one false move (like trying to bring a bottle of water onto the plane, or reading a potentially inflammatory book.)) And of course, strategy and planning [...]

Gulie, how naive can you be. It has been proven that no one will ever take over a plane again, not because of the TSA which is a waste of money but because of the people of this country. Every person that has tried anything on a plane has been kick to the ground, ask the boxer that tried to open the planes door mid-flight. The TSA is no different then a security guard at a college football game, they are there for show, if anyone wants to get something past them they will, most will probably be seen to have worked for the airline or even the TSA.

I dont know why You people sound so cinical and so negative about TSA screeners. It is a very hard job. They are moving bags up to 70 pounds all day non stop, serving crowds of people and doing everything to prevent another nightmares from terrorists. For a whole Year out of million flights there was not one tragic accident with air transport! I dont know what kind of jobs You people do but You sound very rude and disrespectful toward homeland employees. Just because they make small salary -it doesnot give You right to disrespect them. Their work days are full of stress and negativeness already. They deserve many good and kind words and word of respect and Thank You from all people who travelled and landed safely!!!

There are many People who apreciate Your Hard work and very Thankfull for everything You are doing for all of us!

What do you expect when you drag in the dreggs of the world into the TSA and give them $7/hour.

You want GOOD security….pay for it. Don’t staff the TSA with Welfare Rats that barely have a GED.

I believe a lot of the fine folk on this blogg would make excellent TSA inspectors. Can’t wait to hear them all sound off and sign up.

I always feel the need to refuse to take off my shoes and get the extra thorough search. I guess if they’re gonna add the extra cost to my ticket, I should get my money’s worth. While being searched ask questions like “when you were a kid, did you dream about being a shoe searcher” or “How long have you been doing this? Uhuh and how many terrorists have you caught? Unhuh.” and my favorite “The sign says you can arrest me for joking about having a bomb? Do you have a copy of the law that makes it illegal to joke?”

ps You might not want to try this. I have much experience knowing how far I push the piglets, I mean facists, I mean statists… you know the real terrorist.
