I'm not condoning these idiotic, un-american and possibly un-lawfull practices the TSA Screeners are performing, but now that they are government employees they can never be expected to think like "Real World" employees.
You have no idea about the issues that we face outside of our screening duties "as employees of the Federal Government." I was laid off from a 58k/yr job as an IT specialist before TSA called me to go to work. It was a 67% pay cut. There still is nothing out there for me to go to. There are a myraid of problems with this so called hack. Most of us stay because we are patriots.
