Because the objectionable behavior is *what they do*. It's what they were hired to do - grope people.

Now add to that the simple fact that when TSOs steal from passengers, they get probation. When they're charged with molesting a minor and attempting to make her into a "sex slave," they get probation.

Just on percentages, the TSA consists of a higher concentration of thieves and perverts than any other group examined with the possible exception of the entirety of the Catholic Church.

If they were serious about their jobs, they'd clean house - in a big way - but to claim that they're looking for terrorists in the traveling public while being unable to identify their own bad apples really doesn't help their case, does it?
