We know the TSA is trustworthy because they told us there's no problems in a recent press release and because passenger luggage theft has doubled since the TSA was put into place. Aren't you glad they are providing security to protect against those untrustworthy baggage handlers...oh wait, ignore that part I mentioned about the doubling in passenger luggage theft. That wasn't in the TSA's press release.
Given the stories I've heard about FAMs knocking off first-class passengers so they can "protect" the flight, I'm wondering if ramp guys ever "forget" to load the FAMs' bags.
