Working for the TSA

I was curious what the job requirements were so I moseyed on over to their site. I didn't read it because I was stopped dead in my tracks by the very first picture, the one next to 'employment':

That's the recommended protective position.

Alex Johnson is fairly funny too. TSA doesn't even bother to imply that one of them might even be a possible terrorist, just that Alex Johnson is a risk somehow maybe, because TSA cannot distinguish between them? I thought the risk was of bringing down an aircraft or killing people. Obviously I'm wrong. The risk is using Alex instead of Alexandria, thus confusing TSA about sexual identity. Now we understand why she must be groped!

Good site. It explains so much.

Angry

I think the only way to get some empathy from Pistole and Nappy is to put each of them in a room with 100 convicted molesters.

Maybe, just maybe, they might see what millions of men, women and children have been through in the past and why this groping and gate raping is so traumatic.

Then they should each be sentanced to one thousand hours having their heads examined for the insanity in even thinking up the idea of having screening clerks feeling up the penis' and vagina's of complete strangers.

Given the new TSA practice of groping, one would think that people at TSA would have been smart enough to use a surname other than Johnson.

Better they be put into a room with 100 individuals who have been molested to listen to their stories and try to feel the emotions they feel on an every-day basis.

They might just feel at home!

Unfortunately, that seems to be the general area of their focus, and many of them can't see much higher than that.

Not so different from what the leadership of the Catholic Church is going through these days -- another institution that put self-preservation ahead of the interests of molestees.

Flew upper class VA from San Diego today. TSA unbelivably polite and friendly and well dressed. Took 6 min from entering line until through (3 min of that emptying and refilling pockets)

Were they wearing tuxedos and designer dresses? Did they look you in the eye and smile when they squeezed your goolies?

Bolded the keyword here! So is their reputation, that when they appear polite, friendly, and well dressed, the word unbelievably needs to appear in front of it!
