Does the person pictured above project a professional appearance that would be desirable for those interacting with the public?
I really don't know what TSA is trying to accomplished but based on personal observation and a growing list of news reports there seems to be little concern at TSA for having any reasonable standards of personal responsibility, appearance or ability.
No wonder TSA has the bad reputation it does.

I'm sure some here wouldn't mind that guy doing a "secondary" on 12 year-old boys "just to be on the safe side". Think of the children. "We're keeping you safe."
OR
Can you imagine if this guy had duty in the secret room that checked all of the scans from the Nude-o-Scopes? Frightening.

A TSA spokesperson released a brief statement regarding Thompson's charges, which read: "TSA holds its security officers to the highest professional and ethical standards. TSA investigates all allegations of misconduct and will take appropriate action after obtaining relevant facts as warranted.

But Lynn, another TSA spokesperson says:
The officers are doing their best to keep threats off of planes - and nobody's perfect
