The TSA makes my work-related travel a "hostile work environment" on every single trip...maybe I should file a harassment claim!

Maybe this is where the fired TSO's from HNL ended up?

Yeah, don't you remember this? That was 28 screeners were fired from TSA in HNL. It was improper unscreened the bag from CTX-5500/CT-80 machine at ticket lobbies. No one should be improper the bag from CTX machine.

They will taken the action against TSA in MSP. They should have screened the bag through inline baggage screening system. They have to do it. If they find out for which TSO who did not follow the rules. They could be fired from airport. If they will get disciplinary action against TSO. On whether if they find out who did not screened the bag properly. TSA will be fired some TSO or suspension from work. If they have stay within the rules. No one should be unscreened the bag.

It looks like at least one FSD will be looking for a new job soon.

Yup, he got fired from TSA at MSP. He won't be back to work anymore. He had no security aviation experiences at all.

"Five Eyewitness News has obtained e-mails from TSA staff which called the treatment of some employees a "horrible nightmare.""

I call the treatment that the public receives from TSA staff a horrible nightmare.

Did I miss them saying who was harassing the TSA workers?

Maybe that part is nothing more than complaining about pax not respecting them...

Don't want to make an extra topic. Just flew Sun Country from Termnal 2 to SeaTac. Was a bit hesitant given all the discussion. Just for extra simplicity, I took no liquids through. The guy directing traffic said "Liquids or laptops?" I said no liquids, yes laptop. He grabbed an extra tub and said pull it out. I did (I knew it had to be out, but not what else) I was thinking of keeping my passport in my hand through the scanner. I know I didn't but where I did put it I forget. Anyway, got in, the sign said hold for three seconds, I didn't count it out and wondered if it completed, the guy said "Yeh, its good" so I stepped out, and started taking back all the metal stuff. The people moved fast enough that I finally swept everything out of the tubs, stuck the laptop in my backpack, and got out of the way. Anyway, very little waiting and not much friction.
