The TSA is worried about the suicidal thoughts of its airport screeners
The US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is concerned about its employees’ emotional well-being following the suicide of a 40-year-old officer who jumped to his death from a balcony inside the Orlando International Airport earlier this year. (qz.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
So...We’ll have TSA thought police now?
I traveled weekly, domestic and int'l for the entire life of the TSA, they have always seemed distant, disengaged and looking in all the wrong places. I had a Bi-Laterl TKR (Both knees replaced) in 2004, was then subjected to humiliation and examined like a felon ever since. I'll drive, the airlines can jump in the lake. A TSA Agent in LGA once insisted I was "...hiding something..." inside my knees, made a big deal, missed the plane, no apologies, just more rancorous attitude from the NYPD and TSA Managers.
And NO we are NO SAFER THAN before 9-11!!! So if they want to apply the sincerest form of self-criticism, let them!

Sorry to hear about the humiliation you have had to endure at the hands of the children who think they are out to save the world. These idiota have NO idea what security is let alone how to go about implementing it. Until someone wakes up, seals off the very obvious holes we have in it now, not a single thing will change. But personally, I think their lack of interest is covering up what they already know and want the rest of us to worry about so they can carry out their plans in the background.
I think if I had to work for the TSA, I'd want to off myself, too. There's easier ways to make money than to stand around all day and occasionally fondle people's junk.
I was thinking that too and I am having a great life.
Don't forget, another part of the job is that they have to treat you like ****.
Right on. McD's won't let you stand around and do the 'dirty'. Grant you, some I've noticed are actually working,, doing a job. They are aware that there are video cameras all around the area and have to behave and act respectful to the public they are serving. Also the TSA agent who watches the scan of people in that booth(back-scatter comes to mind),, TSA reports that no images are saved or seen by any other agent. I don't believe that statement. How would you like to sit there and look at passenger images?? I myself would be 'super-horned' and have to be relieved ASAP.
