Anyways, what really caught my attention was the behavior or TSA agents mentioned in the article. I am not a big TSA-basher, nor is this a really serious issue, but here goes:



Putting the belt on and taking pictures along with their buddies? Isn't this disrespectful not only to the Big Show but also the other passengers waiting in line? Overall, this just doesn't give off the professionalism feel and I always wondered if that was allowed, given the fact that they are on duty. Thoughts?

Sounds to me like screeners interfering with the screening process.
