GitRDone,

TSA is not as bad as you are making yourself believe.

1. Job security, TSA isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Hulas knows how to make money, I think he likes the dollas.
2. Pay, block or better and the pay rates are average. FO times may hurt a little but won't be worse than what you're doing now.
3. Opportunity, they are hiring and don't show any signs of slowing, things are very exciting around here right now.
4. Great people, fun to fly with.
5. Great equipment, fun to fly with.

However, if you come in here with a "the world is out to get me" attitude, then you're right, you shouldn't take the job. You would risk diminishing #4.

Think about it, choose carefully, and remember it's only your career.
