Just remember the mantra...you don't professionalize until you federalize.
Can anyone in the Denver area remember security there before TSA?
Is TSA getting any good press? Seems like it's fairly constant that TSA is getting press over stuff not even related to the complaints we raise.

They can't go after the media.
Plus once it's posted, they'll never track down all the copies.

If it's that screwed up on the inside, is it any wonder it's so screwed up on the outside?
"Harassed... threatened... bullied... retaliatory... inconsistent... lack integrity... antagonist... false accusations... immature... refused to answer any questions..." Any of this ringing a bell?

"The federal security director at DIA in 2006, Pat Alhstrom, talked to the committee who prepared the report. He told committee members that "he did not get all the information that he needed to understand what was going on in the workforce because what he did learn was excessively filtered."
It's no surprise that one of the biggest scumbags in the TSA, Patrick Alhstron, played the clueless idiot. He was focused on passenger harassment, so how could he know about employee harassment?
DEN has consistently been one of the most unpleasant places to interact with the Communist Party. I have little sympathy for Party Workers or Party Officials at this disgrace of an airport re: "security". A pox on both their houses.

I agree with you on the basic black-and-white premise of what you said, but there's politics played within the media that might prevent an all-out airing of dirty laundry.
