And the conundrum known as "TSA Customers" continue to line up for this bullshirt in ever larger numbers. Open ever wider, kiddies. Your TSA Oatmeal is getting colder and lumpier.
Bart can certainly speak for and defend himself, but I think this is a bit low. Years ago I chose to leave a federal job rather than put up with the violations of law that were going on (I had no way to fight against what they were doing even if I had the desire to do so). Bart can at least fight against the stupidity (and it seems that he does so). While there is nothing wrong with criticizing the stupidity of Chertoff, Hawley, et.al., not everyone who works in the TSA or DHS supports the stupidity of the current management. I don't blame my nephew (currently a combat medic in Iraq) for the mess that we are in over there. I don't blame Bart for the stupidity of his bosses (unless he loses his mind in his new TSA training and is absorbed into the collective
)
