It is true that only the bad things and experiences are the ones best remembered. It only takes one person to say the wrong thing to set back an entire organization. I'm just as appauled as anyone else here is. Please remember that his statements only represent himself and not the TSA as a whole.
It isn't the comments your screeners make which debase your reputation, it is your actions.
I'm sorry, but I'm not buying any more of this "most of us are decent people" argument. People who join the TSA agree with their policies. If they don't, they should leave. The policy in question: taking away rounded-tipped scissors from a six-year-old girl is idiotic, over-bearing, and worthy of contempt. Anyone who is on the payroll of an organization that does this is complicit and worthy of contempt.
Luckily, the TSA generates its contempt against itself constantly, and it is getting good at it. Call it karma or something. I hope the cycle continues through the summer. The TSA deserves all of the contempt it can generate.
