Probably because we recognize that TSA has become a criminal organization.

Many of us are required to fly as a condition of our employment. Consequently, we are regularly subjected to abuse, delay and theft by TSA and witness it more closely than casual travelers. To add insult to indignity, we not only have to pay approximately $108.00 per year in taxes for this mistreatment but an additional $5.00 for every round trip.

Ask yourself if you would pay to send your child to a day care center or school where the employees and managers were convicted of theft and drug trafficking; or where their genitals were rubbed in front of the classroom if they didn’t understand a teacher’s instruction or had a medical condition? How about if the teachers stole their money and property, put them on untested playground equipment or exposed them to cancer causing materials? Or perhaps a school where the teachers simply didn’t teach at all and sat around reading a novel.

This doesn’t sound like a service that most people would buy but, in essence, describes what is happening in airports on a daily basis. In the past month alone, there have been ten reports where TSA has participated in such activities.

Frisking of a 9 year-old and his family in Savannah after they got off a train
TSA’s failure to find a handgun five times at a DFW checkpoint
A Buffalo TSO arrested for drug trafficking,
Three box cutters that made it aboard an aircraft at JFK
An unticketed deranged passenger that made it through security despite not having a ticket
Twenty-seven screeners in HNL under investigation for failure to screen bags for four months
A Newark TSO arrested for impersonating a police officer
Another Newark TSO convicted of stealing $39,000 from passengers
A JFK TSO and Manager arrested for the theft of $160,000 from passengers baggage
The revelation of errors in 30% of scanner radiation reports that TSA hadn’t examined since they began using them on passengers in October

So my question is who are the 3% who find this acceptable?
