So far, my experience with TSA has been quite an eye-opener and I don't regret my career decision in the least. The majority of travellers I see on a daily basis are responsible, supportive and even a pleasure to work with.

There are more issues I could cover, but I will save them for future posts. I look forward to serving you, my fellow travellers, as I endeavor to ensure all your trips are SAFE and smooth ones.
Glad you take pride in your position, but I think most of the travelling public realizes that your procedures amount to aviation security theater (TSA backwards) which create more hassle than true security. Most of the time I go through the checkpoint, all I hear is whining from employees that they are supposed to be going on break. The pre 9/11 screeners were more professional while working for nearly min. wage. While there are some very good screeners out there, the vast majority are just there for the check and will leave as soon as better opportunity comes their way
