Yet even then I don't feel that most of the 'anti-TSA' posters value my input any less. I cannot say the same for some of the TSOs who post here, however. (And again, I did value the TSOs who posted here in past in a helpful manner and who have mostly disappeared)
Returning to the general topic of this thread, earlier I pointed out that TSA doesn't do itself a favour sometimes by allowing TSOs to openly post online. Two threads started this week by TSOs support my belief, as do comments from several of the new posters who appeared this week on those threads.

I started learning about TSA on November 16 when I was getting ready to take a flight that I eventually chose to opt out of (didn't fly). I don't fly a whole lot, and I never gave a second thought about TSA or TSOs. I didn't dread going having to deal with them at any point. This non dread ceased upon having to determine whether I wanted a virtual strip search or my privates felt for the simple action of getting on a plane.
Then I started doing my research, and it hasn't been pretty for TSA or TSOs, and seeing the responses by TSOs on FT just makes it look worse. I'm seeing a "blindness" in how they see the public, and it's very disturbing and frustrating. Because of this blindness, their responses hold no sway for me, and I will continue to disregard them since I can't trust that they are being genuine in their responses, but only covering up for their organization, which is scary that you'd rather be a part of the Organization instead of a part of Humanity.
