I am an employee of the TSA and find a few of the postings disturbing to say the least. The traveling public has no idea how many holes there are in the system. I am merely trying to plug the largest. I have the daunting task to ensure that when your husbands, wives, sons, daughters, and significant others board there plane, that there aren't any potential weapons available to repeat the tragedy that occurred on September 11th 2001. I am aware that there are problems in the system, I am sure your employer had problems within it's organization in the beginning. Also understand, I take no pleasure in harrassing anyone, let alone my fellow Americans. I am an eleven year Army Infantry Veteran of two campaigns, injured during the June 1996 bombing of Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia. I think I have more than served my country with distinction. Let us work out the flaws, don't look at it as being inconvenienced to undergo screening, look upon it as you doing your civic duty to your God and Country. Our screeners are amongst the finest people I have had the honor to serve with (minus a few of course), don't let our bad apples spoil your opinion of us all. I promise no one will lose there life because of passenger screening (or lack thereof) from my airport. God Bless All.

Be careful what you say on here Patriot. You've probably identified yourself pretty specifically with your Khobar reference and you know how pathetically vindictive some crappy supervisors and managers can be.
