I have to wonder how much room these FAMs have to tail what they consider a “hot piece of tail” as part of their sexist interests. Racist profiling has been part of DHS/TSA’s ways. Sexist profiling too. And I have no doubt that name-based misidentification has also led to some people being spied upon like this too.
The Stasi’s dream capabilities come with DHS employment credentials.
A few years ago, I picked up a persistent spotnik who followed me into the toilet and continued trying to grill me while I was sitting in a stall attending to business.
If a female pax is under surveillance and goes to the toilet, shouldn;t there always be at least one female team member ready to follow her into the toilet to observe what happens in the stall? Or do a bunch of guys just hang around outside the toilet until she comes out?
In the interests of national security, of course.
I'm also curious as to whether these FAMs get free passes to the lounges if the pax goes into a lounge. As with the toilet situation, will they have a female team member available to follow female pax into the showers?
I notice the ramped up interest not only in pax genitals, but in pax underwear. What next - asking me if I shave or wax? Perhaps it's time I start flying commando.

I looked this morning to see if any comments had been posted on the "Quiet Skies" thread, not really expecting to see any because it's only been a day since the thread was posted. There are, however, several comments, mostly comments that I would wager have been solicited.

It seems the same thing might have occurred in the prior thread:

Can't say I'm surprised to see FAMs come out to try to defend the "Quiet Skies" program:

This DHS/FAMS program gives FAMs a lot of extra money in the bank -- especially from the premium overtime pay -- and a lot more opportunities to collect non-taxable perks at the taxpayers' growing expense. Quiet Skies is yet another way that the American taxpaying-public gets fleeced by DHS.

And, given the spotnik programme was (in theory) cancelled, it gives the provider of said programme a new group to "teach" his magic fantasy tricks to so that they can go out and look for all those "cold, penetrating stares" and "excessive yawning" and "sitting calmly for too long", etc. Gotta make sure everyone on the gravy train stays on the train!
