Disgusting

I hope we loose a few screeners because of this!



I wonder if we will ever see the video from the incident, or if it will be "destroyed"

Excellent choice.. Bob, new theme song? It fits perfectly. You could also apply it to some of the TSOs around here..

My bet is on, "Unfortunately, the cameras covering that area were not working that day."

Yeah, I agree. TSA screeners will be fired from their jobs and will get disciplinary actions against them. TSA are not appropriate for the behaviors at checkpoint in DCA.

Unfortunately, I feel a punishment similar to Alvin Crabtree. A small slap on the wrist, and back to work a few days later.

DOWN WITH TSA!

Yeah, very disappointed the news to hear. We just came back from LAS today. I gone on vacation for 3 days. I took on the breaks from aviation related forums for a few days. Sorry, that I was unable to post with you guys on FTs due to cost us on Internet kiosks at The Orleans hotels.

The TSA agents in question I think should be fired and proscuted for abuse charges... This is why the TSA has got to go!
