Anybody who goes through a TSA checkpoint on a routine basis at JFK or LGA knows they hear the same "song" out of the TSA employees they heard from the "rent-a-screeners" prior to the TSA taking over the duties:
"He wants me to work Saturday? I told him I'm not working Saturday night.....?"
"____ you have to take your break at 1." "One o'clock! I was told 12:30. Why do have to wait till she gets back to take my break."
All while looking for that knife in your carry-on. I saw one screener sitting in front of a computer screen while mine and 3 other bags came, and went, on the screem while (s)he was looking at their time assignment sheet intently. Tell a supervisor? What supervisor.
It's just the same employees in a different uniform, now with a federal badge. Nothing has changed. Only the the payroll stub. And if you think that that is going to keep their hands out of the luggage or prevent them from putting out a tip jar, like they did at JFK-T9, I'd like to know what the color of the sun is in your world.
Sorry to be so cynical but let there be know doubt in anyone's mind, anyone with a $50 bill and a mission can breach security there in a NY minute.
