Or maybe it's not so funny because the TSOs getting caught know how long this sort of thing has been going on. They know how long public complaints have been ignored, denied, or met with "the tape is lost/camera turned off/doesn't show any nefarious activity", so why should they expect it to matter if there are cameras? Then there were the 'edited' tapes, like the Stacy Armato tape.

Additionally, with the installation of the NoS, the checkpoints are constantly being reconfigured. Pax are routinely harassed when trying to keep their bags in view, and there's no assurance that cameras are realigned to monitor TSO activity.

They've also been working in an environment where citizen photographers are routinely harassed under the guise of security.

I'd say that if a TSO is caught and confronted with footage, more likely he/she is shocked that it exists, that it shows anything, that management bothered to look, that there are repercussions instead of retraining.

Interesting, too, that in recent months we're finally getting to see just how quickly they can view footage if they want to. (Makes one wonder why it is taking so long to review the tapes of the Fayetteville checkpoint that missed ex**osives in a bag-checked bag).
