A more comprehensive look at TSA misconduct
 
"Besieged by misconduct, TSA sows culture of dysfunction and distrust,
The cultural issues are partly due to a mishmash of personnel from the military, law enforcement and the aviation industry, different factions of which often battled for power. Some were more focused on career advancement than the mission, Cammaroto said. "

I hope for your sake this is not the case at DEN, eyecue.

TSA is rotting from the top down and that rot, no matter how close to the top, needs to be cut out.

Seems I have read about most of this some time ago.

The people in leadership positions at TSA are just a reflection of the rest of the agency. Criminals, perverts, and all other manner of lowlifes is what TSA is all about.

Ha! Deputy Administrator John Halinski was the "Village Idiot" who made a complete fool of himself in front of Congress during testimony! It's interesting that he was so concerned about corruption that his all-hands video speech lasted a full 90 seconds.

It's not just TSA, but DHS itself. I've spoken with several secret service agents who say similar things about their agency. Each one of them had said that once they were moved from the Treasury to DHS, their agency went into decline.

Same story with the CBP personnel formerly with Justice and Agriculture, less so for the former USCS (Treasury) folks but still not good.

Other TSA whistleblowers across the country and those who fell out of favor with management for other reasons said TSA leaders use reassignments as punishment or as a way to force workers to quit.

I don't know if you can answer this or not: is the former federal judge still a boss at DEN?

(I'm just wondering if the fiasco where multiple TSOs knew that at least two of them were gaming the NoS to allow a male TSO to open-palm fondle male pax and where a TSA investigator witnessed another assault but did not interfere happened on her watch).
