Well, maybe because I'm a fellow human being caught up in the spirit of what Christmas stands for? Maybe because that's the one thing I can see that distinguishes us from jihadists and from abusive agencies/employees?
Maybe because it helps to have this discussion? Maybe because it will start some TSOs thinking? Maybe because that's the one shining piece of personal dignity I can salvage from this whole debacle?
I think your use of "jihadist" is misguided in the context of Christmas.
You proposed a line of questioning and ask for thoughts. Just because my thoughts are polar to yours makes them no less valid.
I am all for personal responsibility. I would expect TSA employees as well as people in any line of work to be responsible for their own safety. That means looking out for oneself.
Providing dosimeters to TSA employees has nothing to do with the spirit of Christmas, at least in my opinion.
I will give a gift even greater than a gift of dosimeters to all TSA employees, free advice, quit while you still have some self respect left!
