What this goes back to are claims by various TSA spokesholes that the actions of one employee doesn't reflect on the others.
I completely disagree with this concept. When enough employees engage in behaviors that are contrary to accepted standards the actions of a few impact all employees.
In this week alone enough TSA employees have been charged with crimes or engaged in behavior which will likely lead to criminal charges that must bring into question the hiring and supervision of TSA employees.
Something is deeply wrong at TSA.
TSA does not deserve the respect or cooperation of the public.

Comparing the number of TSA employees being charged with crimes to the number of terrorists they've caught results in a DIV/0! error.

I don't disagree.

That leaves the U.S. flying public to deal with the most badly educated, mentally disturbed and least ethical bunch of knuckle-draggers the Federal Government has ever hired.
Imagine what it must have been like for decent people to work with these two crooked TSA employees for years at a time. I bet they made life difficult for anyone who wasn't willing to look the other way or participate in their scams. That's what "bad apples" do. They actively work to spoil the whole barrel.

I just doubt that this genius will actually do any time - as with most of the other cases where a TSA employee screws up, not much will happen to them.

Cut?
Try "zeroed out", as in no paychecks for smurfs, enjoy your 99 weeks of unemployment as you discover no one will hire you with TSA on your resume.
If I had to choose between hiring a meth addict and a former TSO, I'd take my chances with the meth head.

I don't think unemployment is an option for people terminated with cause - as should be anyone who's worked for the TSA in any capacity since October.
