Strongly agree with you. There is nothing more unprofessional than using foul language within earshot of passengers. I certainly don't tolerate it.

Unfortunately, it's a sign of the times. I certainly have heard plenty of passengers use foul language. I'm not saying that this should give any excuses for TSOs who use that language; I'm just pointing out that it happens on both sides of the WTMD.
