NYPost article about TSA agent accepting bribes to skip the line
Suddenly, a small middle-aged woman wearing a TSA (Transportation Security Administration) uniform moved along that line, pushing a wheelchair while asking, in a thick non-English accent, if anyone was in need of her help. No one responded. But she nonetheless made it clear that one didn't need to be disabled for her to assist one of us, that she was available. Stopping, she even insisted that any one of us hop in. Really, now? OK, let's see where this caper leads . . . We… (www.nypost.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Gee that doesnt supprise me in any way they are among the low class if you look at most they do not even come close to looking like they really know what they are doing. This should have been an immediate firing of the person no second chance or anything but it should have gone deeper as the others should have caught what was going on and stopped her and taken her to a supervisor.
Boyd...this was Newark, worst airport in the country. The supervisor was probably in for a cut.
This is a perfect example of TSA corruption and abuse. Instead of protecting the airways, these criminals resort to exploiting the system for their own benefit. This is worse than the situation that ultimately led to the9/11 tragedy. At least the private screeners were attempting to do their job, but were handicapped by a lack of information from the FBI.
Since December forty-five screeners have been arrested or convicted of crimes including rape, child pornography, theft and drug trafficking. There is clearly a problem when a agency of 54,000 is on pace to have 70 employees arrested for work related crimes in a year. And those are just the ones that are discovered, countless others go undetected.

They have outdone themselves yet again.
I don't know why we just don't use military personel to handle the TSA business. If you visit bases, there are plenty of military people everywhere doing busy work to spend their days. They should be doing the screening.
There's also the bigger issue that the article only briefly touches on at the end -- the more time that TSA spends on stuff that doesn't matter (small knives, the 3oz liquid requirement, getting cash to skip the lines, etc), the less time they can spend on issues that actually matters, like guns and explosives.
