Yeah, we know they are out there. We run into them far too often ourselves. And you can hope all you like, but the TSA is so desperate for staff that they hardly ever fire anybody.
I like your use of the word "ostracized." I actually had a recent incident where a group of TSA employees ignored another employee who was obviously on a totally unnecessary power trip. In effect, he was ostracized -- and it was the right thing to do. I wish it happened more often.
