When the Pizza box thing made the Washington Post they said:
The boxed ad campaign was developed last year in an effort to reach a broader applicant pool, according to TSA spokesman Greg Soule. The agency routinely uses ad space on Metro trains, at gas stations and in newspapers or buys ad time during movie previews. But no word on the cost of the pizza box campaign or which restaurants are using the boxes.
Because that's where the best and finest people are found, delivering pizza, pumping gas, in movie theaters, or subways. Because as one story put it, if you are smart enough to order a pizza.......
The pizza places love it as they get a discount on the boxes with the advertising.

I'm wondering if EPIC could, in some way, shape or form, include the "slogan" on the signage in their current lawsuit. It certainly is quite clear that TSA is using the very thought of looking at naked passengers as an enticement.

They are trying to attract Peeping Tom's and promising them tax-payer financed benefits and salaries for part time work.
Beyond sick in my opinion.

What's their next recruiting campaign slogan -- "Join TSA -- we pay!" ???

If they're having trouble recruiting, they should reach out to some non-profits for help. NAMBLA, for example, might relish the opportunity to assist.
Unfortunately, Dwaine B. Tinsley is no longer around to help with the graphics.

While pumping $5 worth of gas into his ’87 Chevy Beretta, Chester noticed the ad for TSA screening clerks, and the promise of “x-ray vision”.
“Could that be for real?” he thought to himself. He had sent away for x-ray specs when he was in junior high, but those things didn’t work like they said. Stupid, stupid, stupid! He threw the specs away and consoled himself with the ladies underwear section from the Sears catalog he kept hidden under the mattress.
But now maybe this time is for real! And his mom had been bugging him about moving out of the house for, like, ten years now. With the government pay, he could get his own apartment now…

But even at that rate there are better jobs to be had. Especially if you want to respect yourself in the morning.

As a friend once said "I know what it's like to work at a job you hate just because you need the money." TSO seems like that kind of job.

With all the new folks monitoring this forum I thought it might be a great idea to bump this thread to show how TSA is recruiting new employees.
