Finally a 'TSO' gets arrested.
TSA should be abolished, as OBL is dead anyway.

Yet another example of the way John Pistole runs the agency. Both the TSA officer, and his Supervisor, are part of the growing pack of thieves. Not surprising to see more stories of taxpayer's money being spent to steal from the traveling public, instead of protecting.
Pistole needs to be accountable and removed from his position.

Wait till they are unionized and will be promoted for such behavior! TSA is a total waste of time and money, another Federal program that exists to serve itself only, and of course add more Federal employees to the union ranks.
Going thru security at EWR, I was totally surprised when the TSA agent said " THANK YOU " after looking at my boarding pass. I would be willing to bet that he is no longer employed by TSA. The TSA system does not want or use people that are courteous. Security in Europe is also strict but they do not have people with freezer level IQ's working their security counters.
