True, some TSA employees might be less intelligent than you, and many of the rules are asinine. Does that give you the right to degrade them in such a manner?
Your method of dealing with the issue is immature, disgusting, and utterly inappropriate. I'm embarrassed to share this profession with you.
Sir, I must disagree. I find that most Govt employees have one thing in common. Lack of education, an even more lack of common sense and a great desire for a steady - uninterupted paycheck.

YOU and I on the otherhand paid dearly for the opportunity to enter the profession we are in. We put our livlihoods on the line, each and every leg. We protect the lives of our customers, EACH and EVERY LEG. We stand to lose that opportunity when faced with the most minor FAA violation. We stand to lose that opportunity at the slightest downturn in the economy.
You should never be embarrased of another co-worker trying to make your life and mine a little easier to bear.
