Of course, the only rational response in that case is that the TSOs were complete idiots, but that's already been said, hasn't it?
Some things are worth repeating. ^

I really like to mitigate between lower level workers and management types. I love all the drama that comes with working with young/immature people. I like supervising an area that is understaffed, with employees that are tired of not having the appropriate amount of staff. I appreciate having an upper management make decisions for me when they have no idea what my job entails. I like working weekends, holidays and evenings. I enjoy bidding on new work schedules frequently. I don't like consistency, and the idea of having a social life scares me.
Any suggestions?

Must... keep... mouth... shut...

Oh, what the heck, if it weren't for the lack of interest in a social life, I'd ask if you were any good at using a whip.

Sorry, but this is as simple as it gets. If the bag contained a possible threat, it and the owner should have been within the control of the TSA at all times. If the bag contained no threat, or "maybe possibly could be", there is no need for the terminal dump. TSA screw-up any way you look at it.

Which leads me back to my original question. Are TSO at the checkpoint punished or in any way held accountable for the problems THEY caused?

This article has a picture of passengers waiting during the evacuation.

From the vantage point of where this picture was shot, it looks like not only was the security checkpoint in Terminal 2 shut down, but everybody needed to leave the landside areas of the terminal as well, go across the street, and hang out in the parking lot!

I was flying out of SAN during a terminal dump at the same terminal 3 years ago....the line went all the way into the parking lot where those folks were. Probably the line to be rescreened went out into the lot.

I am sorry to inform you paranoid schizophrenia and an abusive authoritarian streak are not considered to be qualifications by REAL intelligence organizations.
