OH the IRONY!!!!!
If we can't judge a screener by the shoes he wore, how does TSA dare to judge us for the shoes we wear?
People patriotic enough to do something to try to make a difference my .... The federal government's solution to 9/11 was to make all screeners federal employees ... like just the mere acting of being paid by the government would magically resolve the security problems.
Saying you're patriotic just because you work for the federal government is ludicrous. Does that mean that federal janitors and cafeteria workers are patriotic because they make a difference by serving lunch and cleaning the toilets of those who truly are making a difference?
If TSA really wants to make a difference, they first need to make a difference in how people see them. They need to make a difference in actually making people safe (most of which is done behind the scenes that we CAN'T see), and not making them feel harassed. If you stood on a street corner and asked random people what their least favorite part of traveling was, I'd bet dollars to donuts that they'd say security.
