These TSA screeners are incompetant and overpayed.

Make between 28k and 38k yr including OT (alot) and get a full benefit package...79% healthcare payed, 47% dental, etc.

TSA is BS...more gov't waste to make believe we are "safe".

All political horseshit.

They get like 18 an hour and they are on 4 hr shifts. They get screwed. Have a few friends that are TSA employees. Most are under trained and under educated.

For what they do...nothing that uncovers terrorists...yes.
But here's the chilling question for you? Why hasn't the TSA caught even a single terrorist to date, given that this is their job? All 65,000 of them. :roll:



Add that benefit package and the take is alot more than 28k...the minimum.
It is a better gig than welfare which is where most would be if not "screeners"

So this is the land of the free?


Quote:
When a San Diego man opted out of security screening using the Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT) at Lindbergh Field Friday, he stripped down to his underwear in an attempt to avoid the pat-down procedures.

Samuel Wolanyk took the protest started Nov. 13 by Oceanside's John Tyner to a whole new level.

Through a statement released by his attorney Sunday night, Wolanyk said "TSA needs to see that I'm not carrying any weapons, explosives, or other prohibited substances, I refuse to have images of my naked body viewed by perfect strangers, and having been felt up for the first time by TSA the week prior (I travel frequently) I was not willing to be molested again."

Wolanyk's attorney said that TSA requested his client put his clothes on so he could be patted down properly but his client refused to put his clothes back on. He never refused a pat down, according to his attorney.

Wolanyk was arrested for refusing to complete the security process. A woman, identified by Harbor police as Danielle Kelli Hayman,39, of San Diego was detained for recording the incident on a phone.

90% of Americans are stupid...and act like those sheep that committed suicide running off a cliff.

Giving unrestrained power to a gov't like ours.. ex., "TSA" filled with incompetents, crooks, political pals is assinine. TSA is no better than the FEMA gov't people of Katrina "fame". THAT is a FACT. Gov'y couldn't even handle "Cash for Clunkers" becasue of the "demand" :mrgreen:

Not to worry...The new freshman senator from FL is going to straighten out the gov't...right after taking care of her TOP priority... :lol:

"Like other freshman lawmakers, newly elected Florida Rep. Frederica Wilson ran for Congress on a vow to change Washington. But her first order of business has nothing to do with health care, education or the usual mix of issues that come up in the early days of a new Congress.
