I believe they only make about $10 an hr starting out....and they wonder why they keep getting idiots!!. not that long ago I got searched during spring break on my way down to Florida and they opened my bag and the moron started questioning me why I had aviation textbooks in my bag. I told him I was a flight student, so I pulled my license out of my wallet and showed him and he said, "Where did you get that?" I replied "from the FAA" he looked at me puzzled as I zipped up my bag and walked away; I think he was 90% brain dead.
