I understodd the reprocussions of the pat-down well before we even implemented them. We had a round-table discussion with our screeners about the new procedures and everyone discussed their thoughts and feelings about it. We all understood what we were getting ourselves into. So when a passenger complains about the pat-down we don't get offended, because we already know that people
will get offended. Just because I work for TSA does not mean that I am in-human or un-american as it is frequently posted. Many businesses have policies that are deemed outrageous. TSA is one of them. However, if people want to remain employed, someone's got to do the dirty work.
