He, like most tyrants, uses others to do his dirty work and claims no responsibility for his stupid policies. Those who do his dirty work say that they are "just doing our jobs" or "we are just enforcing the rules" and pass the buck back upstairs. No one is willing to stand up and say "This is wrong and I won't do it."

I left a government job (a lucrative one I might add) almost 30 years ago because I refused to do things that I considered (and the courts have since ruled) illegal. I was black-balled and had a difficult time getting another job, but I would do it again because it was the right thing to do. Unfortunately, the people in government jobs today don't seem to have the backbone to say no and walk away from something that is wrong. Like those before them who have destroyed lives, property, and liberty by just "doing their job," the DHS and TSA employees of today don't have the conviction of the oath that they took. If they did, they would quit and tell others why they quit. Let's see TSA operate with no employees.
