Combined, there are about five to seven that infrequently contribute, and about three regulars. Most are screeners, two who moved from screener to the office, one is a lead, another one is a supervisor. One is a BDO, and there are about three FAMs who are a glutton for punishment.
The environment here has gotten very hostile over the last couple of years, so most of them contribute once in a blue moon. Suspicion that one of them has two logins.
There is also one regular who works for the Canadian TSA equivalent.
But there are a LOT more lurkers, from the rank-and-file to folks at DHS and TSA HQ who read this forum.

I have been a "lurker" here for quite some time and I have to say that a lot of the posts here are absolutely "hostile" towards TSA and their employees (which covers alot of people) and most of them don't truly know a dang thing.......The ones that are the hostile and ignorant are the ones who would be the first to scream that TSA wasn't doing their job if we had an attack on our homeland....it is quite sad......
BTW thank you for your honest reply.....seems not alot of that is present in this forum

No honesty? You must be on something.
The hostility for the TSA is real, at least my views. The TSA has not:
*caught ANY terrorists since 2001
*prevented ANY attacks since 2001
But they have:
*trampled on passengers rights since 2001
*shredded the constitution since 2001
The TSA refuses to give passengers any guidelines on what will cause a pat-down. It's "secret." They are not consistent, are poorly trained, and are basically people who couldn't get a job anywhere else.
I for one do not like the government telling me I cannot travel within my own country without submitting to them.
So, get off your high horse and why don't you just realize that people here are entitled to their opinions.
And, FYI, if there is another attack, I won't blame the TSA, as we all know it doesn't work now. I will blame the Government for their inability to come up with a solid security plan, instead foisting this theater upon us.

And when there is an attack again on US soil? Not that I am hoping/ready for one, but I think it's just a matter of time until the ineffectiveness of the TSA is showcased in a horrifying, yet brilliant, display.

And I doubt anyone here would second-guess TSA if there were another attack on our country (what is it with "homeland" all the time? Doesn't it sound Orwellian? What's wrong with "country"?)... as nobody here believes most TSA initiatives reduce the odds of such an attack in the first place. This is theatre criticism.
