There is no way to delete the security camera footage. It's still there.

Yes, but it's "SSI", which means it won't be released for fear that the boogeyman might expose a weakness in our system (here's a hint: there are 100 or so weaknesses in our system standing around every checkpoint), and FOIA requests will be denied for that reason.

Yes, unfortunately, they were no longer work for TSA. They did breaking the rules. It's not acceptable for the behavior. They can't be sleeping on the job.

Rest assured they will hire 10 more zero's to replace those 8.

As others have said, I'd rather they be sleeping on the job than "securing our nation's airports".

Oh, good. They will hire new TSA screeners by replace the current TSA employee. They have try to best behave and they have followed the rules.

How is hiring new screeners ever a good thing? I'd rather have eight totally ineffective screeners sleeping on the job than have eight totally ineffective screeners checking out baggage to see what they want to steal today.
