So once again, because you don't agree with my position on the TSA, because
clearly I must have a few screws loose, it's okay to insult me?
Must be lawyer-speak.
I have not experienced any of the things above which you list. Does that mean they don't or haven't happened? No. Does that mean I am going to let them taint my good experiences with the TSA? No. Just like I won't stop flying an airline because people complain about being treated poorly by an FA, I won't change my opinion of the front-line personnel of the TSA until I have an experience where they threaten or intimidate me or do something else which leaves a bad impression.
And internal problems (at least the problems you listed that
are problems and not just your opinions)? I would venture a guess that nearly all large organizations have internal problems. Let's shut 'em all down and disrespect
anyone who works for them!
