I believe it is objectionable and I will state my reasons.

TSA is charged with screening all people and items entering the so called sterile area of airports for WEI.

Currently TSA exempts all airport workers from 100% screening.

Also TSA does not fully screen cargo that is loaded on airplanes and in many cases have "Trusted Shippers" doing all screening of these items entering the sterile area.

TSA does not maintain a peremiter security patrol over airports letting other local agencies handle that important task.

TSA claims to not have the manpower to do proper screening of all people and things that enter the sterile area or maintain proper airport security even while that is the core job of TSA yet TSA apparently has enough manpower to do these Terminal Patrols and Gate Rape screenings which would be unneeded if TSA did the core job they are tasked with.

TSA's ever increasing reach into things that are not part of their mission is troublesome.

On top of all of that TSA as an agency wins the incompetency prize for overall poor performance in the things they do choose to do. Yet instead of fixing the problems they take on tasks that are not related to the TSA mission.

Is that enough to find this practice objectionable?
