That definition nails it on the head.
But what "trusts" have they betrayed? I certainly didn't give them any. I believe they were entrusted, by an organization within OUR government, to do a specific set of tasks. Those tasks are defined by (again) OUR government. So as long as they do these tasks, in a prescribed/government approved way, they are not betraying any trusts.
That is my point. It is NOT the people, it's the way the agency is using what power they have, to do certain things none of us like (yes, even me).
I believe we should change the people in power, assuming they will have the guts to make the necessary changes to this agency. If the TSA was actually working to provide Security, while the public uses Transportation, I think we would all be OK with that.
I asked on another thread, but I will ask again. Has there been any case where someone has questioned the legality of the TSA, and/or any of the policies it puts in place, and if so, what were the results?
