TSA ‘Reaches’ Out at Paul Ryan Event

Lots of Senior crotches to fondle I guess |
Are LEOs usually allowed beards?
These 'federal officers' would look more 'professional' if they cleaned up the facial hair (like, say, the guy in the background). |
From the article:
We heard that the TSA was going to expand its ummm, ‘reach,’ but to assist in political campaigns is quite the jump in broadening their ‘transportation security horizons.’ I counted no less than (6) TSA agents alongside the usual uniformed Secret Service detail-not to be confused with the ‘Men In Black’ looking agents. |

Why would any campaign want these guys anywhere visible to the public???
What's it matter? Romney's already been using Chertoff as an advisor, we're doomed with more of the same no matter which party is in power. |
I could be wrong but didn't they use these clowns at the 2008 conventions?

The blue shirts do tend to make them more identifiable at a distance, which is useful when riding any form of public transportation in the vicinity of an airport. |
The guy on the right looks desprately in need of a bath.

TSO "Screeners" are NOT LEO's!!! They are basically Walmart Greeters who work at airports & stand around...

I was at a Obama event on the Ohio State campus 2 years ago and TSA was there. I thought maybe it was a slow day at CMH. I guess better utilize them other ways then eating donuts or doing gate screening.

In fact, the Secret Service Uniformed Division isn't very fond of them. It's more of a baby sitting, even so far as a liability having them on site. When it comes down to it, it's all political window dressing. Makes the screeners feel important, makes their managers feel like they've impressed someone in Washington, and infruriates people on these boards, so Mission Accomplished. |
Perhaps they are two of the "highly trained" BDOs, on the lookout for those micro-expressions that tell them they've found a bad, bad person... :rolleyes:

I love the look on the face of the actual LEO in the background...
"Dafuq are they doing there?????" Im suprised that the secret service allows/trusts people who have not had a backround check to screen the public who are entering the event. |

"Dafuq are they doing there?????" Those LEO's will have quite a lot of training and experience. The Secret Service guys will have even more. And then the TSA guys. A hair above minimum wage, a few "orientation" meetings, and a booklet to read and they are there too? What an insult. Like asking an undergrad paralegal from the local correspondence community college to "assist" some Harvard Law hot-shots in a Supreme Court presentation. |
Perhaps the LEOs see them as phaser-fodder red shirts? Identifiable to dim-witted bad guys as the ones to take out first.
|
I wish TSA would issue their personnel brown shirts to replace the current blue.
That way they would be following in the footsteps of their European predecessors. |
My Bad!

Take a close look at the TSA clerks in that picture: they're wearing ID cards on retractable reels.
I'm not claiming to be an expert in law enforcement, but if I recall correctly, LEOs and security guards typically wear nothing that could be used to strangle them--the best example of this is wearing clip-on ties instead of traditional ties, for the obvious reason that it'll pop off if someone grabs it in a confrontation. Along those lines, I'd think that LEOs and security guards would stay well away from using retractable reels of any type, especially clipped so close to the neck on the shoulder strap. Of course, I'm also assuming that (1) TSA clerks are LEOs or security guards, and (2) that they'd actually engage someone as a real LEO or security guard might have to. |

The ID lanyards or whatever they are called are probably a job lot form China. Please do not suggest strangling TSA workers. @:-);) |
