"Some of our officers aren't respected," TSA spokeswoman Ellen Howe said.
Ever wonder why, Ellen ? ƒ
Airport screeners will get badges after finishing a two-day training program covering issues related to badges as well as how to talk to passengers in a calming manner.
Two days training on how to pin your badge on the right way round ? Yeah, and learn how to talk
down to passengers even more. ƒƒ
"We coupled the badges with the communications training to make it clear to our officers that they're there to facilitate our passengers," Rossides said.
Facilitate our passengers. Is that even English ?
She said the TSA has no interest in giving screeners law-enforcement power.
No, sorry Gale. I don't believe you.
A.J. Castilla, a screener at Boston's Logan Airport and a spokesman for a screeners union, is eager to get a badge. "It'll go a long way to enhance the respect of this workforce," he said.
No, it will make you even more despised and ridiculed. By me, anyway. ƒƒƒ
