If you find that being made to work without pay delivered on time is not completely inappropriate ever since the idea of slavery and indentured servitude have been generally considered an abomination, then I am not surprised that it’s easy for some to laugh at a lot of dehumanizing things. Would you be laughing if you didn’t get paid on time for work you provided and it negatively hit your life hard?

I am no fan of the TSA, and I am very critical of the government’s dehumanizing ways aimed at travelers, but I don’t laugh at the idea of any civilians being treated in poor, antiquated ways by government. Even when it comes to those TSA employees who touch passengers’ “resistance” as part of the invasive TSA groping, hard as it may be to apply principles consistently.

Even TSA employees being made to work without pay delivered on time is completely inappropriate in a world where slavery and indentured servitude are both considered abominations. Otherwise why even pretend that their are meaningful fair labor standards. I am not sure about you, but I’m sure I don’t like to see the government exempt itself from having to abide by the same civilian employment rules civilian private sector employers have to follow to stay out of trouble. What’s good for the governmental goose should be good for the governmental gander.
