Your statement sums up a large part of what is wrong with TSA and its employees. Management never finds fault with employee actions and employees standing beside rouge screeners seem to turn away and do nothing.
If TSA was truly a professional organization we wouldn't keep hearing about screening abuses. I think TSA screeners see themselves more like prison guards. Of course if a screener did some of the things we hear about to a prisoner they would be walked out that day, prisoners have more rights than travelers trying to get through TSA Security Theater.
