TSA can't seem to win with some people. All I can say on this matter is that although there are some things that I have to do for my job that I don't agree with I do it because it's my job. I'm sure there are many people out there that have been asked to do something on the job that they don't necessarily agree with. However in TSA's defense, for those who say TSA has never caught a terrorist, you may win that debate. But there has been many incidents that go on which is not public knowledge for fear or creating mass hysteria. There has been incidents of surveillance which has been caught, incidents of test runs, which have been caught, IED components, which have been caught....all by TSA in conjunction other government entities. This will not be publicized because it will cause hysteria amongst the general public.
