Excerpt:

There were guys that would get women as naked as possible. There was a rule that you couldn't wear a coat through the metal detector so one time a woman was wearing this little jacket that just covered her bra and the guy at the metal detector made her take it off and walk through in only her bra.

There were girls that would work the x-ray machine and be texting at the same time.

One TSA guy taped a knife to the bottom of a change bin so that the x-ray guy would look in the bin, see no knife and keep putting it through the x-ray machine until he figured out what was going on. Meanwhile, passengers are kept waiting.

There was also a lot of bad language and cat-calling, treating people like <expletive deleted>, yelling at them.
