What about your friends and family?
That way you and those like-minded as you (who have joined the TSA) can change the Agency from within?
Is it because the pay is too low? Or maybe the benefits not good enough? Certainly there won't be any concerns about YOU (or the like-minded) violating anyone's rights because you will just refuse to engage in any such activity.
So, what IS stopping you?
Some of us in the private sector own businesses that create real wealth and use that wealth to hire employees and grow.
Government jobs like TSA don't create wealth, they redistribute wealth, collected from taxpayers such as myself (and others who post here) to create "make-work" programs such as the TSA.
TSA is not an essential govt service; airports & airlines should be able to fund security, providing it is not overly regulated by the government. Government regulation of business by the plethora of 3 letter agencies places an unnecessary financial burden on many companies.
I'd prefer to keep my role as a private sector business owner instead of taking make-work wages from the cookie jar.
