Yep, all that happened was an "inconvenience." I guess they are just doing "refresher briefings" these days and not "re-training."

"Refresher briefing": "Hey guys, some whiner complained we took her brat's breast milk. Chill it for a couple days, 'kay? Double down on genital rubs and dip deep into those butt cracks instead."
:rolleyes: HQ is well aware of the repeated issues with breast milk resulting from screeners having the final say. HQ clearly supports these activities or the word would go out that any screener who screws with a mother's breast milk will be facing a 30-day suspension - as will the STSO on duty who let it happen. Mention that in the 'refresher briefing' and we wouldn't be seeing this happen anymore. |

I don't think a 30 day suspension gets the word out that these acts are not ok.
Flat out Fired for Cause and walked out of the airport right then and there. That would send a message. There would be no more harassment of breast-feeding mothers. Keep in mind: all of these people have recently had a two week vacation, courtesy of the taxpayers, at the 'academy' getting retrained. I can only assume that what is happening with breast milk is a direct result of what is being taught at the 'academy'. The sudden increase in assaults can only be because of the 'academy' training. It's too widespread to be the result of a couple random FSDs. |
I would imagine that it's the same screeners who, over and over again, harass breast-feedings mothers or those with baby food.
A psychological profile of those screeners might product some interesting results. |
By training, aptitude or both, there are clearly a LOT of TSOs who have an unhealthy interest in looking at and handling people's sexual parts.
Some very good TSOs have left the organization precisely because of this on-going focus on genitalia, particularly women's genitalia, but this thing with breast milk is crazy. It can't be blamed on rogue TSOs, because pax have the right to ask for a supervisor, so in each case, at least two people, a TSO and a STSO signed off the confiscation. |

Would not doubt it.
How many years have mothers had problems with TSA and breast milk? That the issue continues does show a level on approval from TSA. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/nati...icle-1.1766297 TSA's solution then was retraining. The settlement, which also calls for agents to be retrained on how to screen mothers traveling with breast milk, will be finalized next month. |

Even if they are marched out of the airport, there are always more waiting to step in and assert their "authoritay".
TSA claims to hold its employees to a higher standard, well lets see some of that bluster in action. |
Misbehaving TSOs don't operate in a vacuum. Supporting every misbehaving TSO are other TSOs, LTSOs and STSOs who 'see something' but don't 'say something' - or, in the case of LTSOs and STSOs, don't DO something.
These TSOs would not be allowed to get away with this behavior - stealing, lying, abusing pax, chronic absenteeism and tardiness - at a McDonald's or a Costco or a 7-11 or a gas station. |
