https://yro.slashdot.org/story/16/07/23/1636256/almost-half-of-all-tsa-employees-have-been-cited-for-misconduct Slashdot reader schwit1 writes: Almost half of all TSA employees have been cited for misconduct, and the citations have increased by almost 30 percent since 2013... It also appears that the TSA has been reducing the sanctions it has been giving out for this bad behavior. View Quote Throughout the U.S., the airport security group "has instead sought to treat the misconduct with 'more counseling and letters that explain why certain behaviors were not acceptable'," according to a report from the House Homeland Security Commission, titled "Misconduct at TSA Threatens the Security of the Flying Public". It found 1,206 instances of "neglect of duty", and also cited the case of an Oakland TSA officer who for two years helped smugglers slip more than 220 pounds of marijuana through airport security checkpoints, according to the San Jose Mercury News. The newspaper adds that "The misconduct ranges from salacious (federal air marshals spending government money on hotel rooms for romps with prostitutes) to downright dangerous (an officer in Orlando taking bribes to smuggle Brazilian nationals through a checkpoint without questioning)." Their conclusion? "The TSA's job is to make airline passengers feel safer and, not incidentally, actually make us safer. It's failing on both." --> http://www.cntraveler.com/stories/2016-07-14/almost-half-of-all-tsa-employees-have-been-cited-for-misconduct View Quote ps from earlier this week: TSA agent at Sea-Tac arrested on suspicion of taking lewd photos of female passengers http://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/crime/tsa-agent-arrested-on-suspicion-of-taking-lewd-photos-of-passengers/ ar-jedi |

Some of Philly international's crew look like they came straight from cecil b ave. and broad and rode their quads into work.
Part of me thinks they actually profiled me because I'm white |

Tsa has always been a total shit show, and has cleaned it self up little in 14 years of it self being around
Wish I could remember half of the stupid shit I saw while I worked for them |

Have you seen the tsa employees? They look like special education students and trailer/ghetto trash. I'm not even slightly surprised by this. Add to it every time they are audited they fail miserably.

I remember going through ORD around 8am a few years ago and the TSA agent was literally passed out at the podium with a huge line flyers snaked back and forth. People were talking pics and laughing.

When it comes to federal jobs, there are demographics which are very prevalent for certain positions.
Some positions are filled with white, fit males while others are filled with fat, dark females. Fact. |

I dont think ive ever seen an organization that screws their employees like TSA does. What they really like to do is deny them full time hours in order to keep them on part time status and deny them not only a livable wage but also benefits of any kind. So anybody who is worth 1/2 a damn is going to get off that job and find another that treats people better, pays better, and has better bennies. Like Starbucks.
Plus the work is exhausting, standing there all day on your feet putting up with attitudes, having to pat down smelly, fugly humans. But the real kicker is that part time shit. Who is going to travel 1/2 across a city to work 3 or 4 hours 4 or 5 times a week? Your hardly making your lunch money, hell sitting home on your fat ass getting a welfare check is better. Now Im not sticking up for anyone or anything but there are always two sides to a story. And they do have some nice people. Its funny how you can find nice people when your a decent person yourself. As always "Govt." is its worst enemy. I wouldnt condemn all TSA people like that. Hell anyone paying tax's is aces in my book. Broken clock..... I am talking about legit blow up schools/chop heads/screw goats types, not some douche who forgot to offload his gat before going through the line. View Quote Nope theres more suspicious ones then you think, "of course I'd know while you wouldnt". What exactly their motives were/are I wouldnt know and finding them out, if we ever do, happens downstream from me. I would say however that people who admit they had a gun in their onflight bag, or a knife, or some kind of illegal weapon, and then refuse to cooperate are at the least ...suspicious. There are some real weirdos that get on airplanes, let alone terrorists, and it would be real reckless of you to say in a nation where over 600,000,000 fly domestically a year that they have stopped NO attacks. Almost 2,000,000 a day. |

So, are they hiring? Sounds like a good retirement job! ETA: Nope, nothing near me. But they are hiring in Binghamton, NY in case NY_Shooter is interested. Pay starts at $15.61 an hour. |

I just had to verify what I already knew for a while,I could have missed something BUT after a quick search I have found no terrorist plot has been foiled by the TSA (shocking), if one has they have been keeping it quiet. One would logically think the TSA would be singing from the mountaintops if they did stop an attack or caught an actual Jihadi to justify their hiring of perverts/mouth breathers and to take attention away from the dismal record of security breaches by their own red teams. Maybe we should just throw more money their way and create more laws, should work this time right?

The hours were shit with constantly changing shifts, the divide between management and the TSOs on the floor was ever widening.

TSA just recently forced me to give them the combinations to my locked firearms case and denied me the right to be present when the case was opened.

I knew a lot of correctional officers that went to the TSA (Dulles) and to a MAN they all came begging for their old jobs back within a year....The women that left stayed....That should tell you all you need to know about the fucking TSA right there.
They all said if you were competent (esp. the ones that made supervisor) you were the target of every sorry-ass Laquisia there. The way they described it the back-biting was terrible. |
