TSA Worker Arrested After Jokes, Fight About Size of Genitalia - FoxNews.com
A TSA worker in Miami was arrested when he "lost his mind" and attacked a colleague who repeatedly made fun of his small penis after the security screener walked through a high-tech scanner that showed his genitalia, according to Miami-Dade police.

TSA aside, this is what angers me about Government Jobs more than anything else. In any other company this type of behavior wouldn't be tolerated, and a company that allows this type of behavior would undoubtedly find themselves in a sexual harassment lawsuit.
Now who the hell is going to fit the bill for this TSA agents multi-million dollar sexual harassment lawsuit that he may have a good chance of winning???
I don't care about paying taxes, but I'm disgusted by the ways we waste it in this country.
As Carl said, it might be location dependant.

two questions and strategies. 1. if they decide they want to pat you down, cant you request to be screened in private? I would say request this, and 2. I will also request a supervisor to watch over it to make sure everything is legit.
If they have to take two people off the floor, every time someone requests a private pat down, maybe they will change their ways, or hopefully come up with another procedure.

I spent 30 minutes with a nice response to our new radiation vs molestation security procedures, but when I posted it, it said I was no longer online. Now it's gone - into cyberspace forever, drifting cold and lonely.
It was pretty funny. And well-written. Sorry y'all missed it.

I've had several earth-shattering, world-changing, hugely illuminating "masterpiece" posts thus disappear, thereby depriving the internet of my wisdom. I'm pretty sure we would have avoided bankrupcty, if only all posts had made it through.
Cruel, cruel cyberspace.
Probably because they're attracted by my serenity while going through screening.
I do! I enjoy polishing it on layovers.
Since I'm in charge of my mood and my attitude, I refuse to let a $8-an-hour Blue Shirt change it.

I am.

Pilots with valid IDs have tried to carry guns trough screening. Pilots with valid IDs and credentials have left their authorized guns in public areas, INSIDE screening. I think those lapses in professionalism and attention to security have helped make us more suspect than we think we should be.
I don't understand that reasoning, but I understand your frustration. None of the public transgressions have been my fault, yet I'm an occasional gropee.

Maybe, but I have seen it a few places. I guess it makes sense if other "by-pass" at a location they can too.
66% voice fear about flying on regionals
The major airlines began relying more on the smaller carriers as the recession deepened. But some passengers have become increasingly worried that the smaller carriers are not as safe to fly as the large airlines.
...
During the hearing, Roger Cohen, president of the Regional Airline Assn., defended the smaller carriers, saying they adhere to the same safety standards as the big airlines. His trade group represents 31 regional airlines.
"As passengers expect, regional airlines fly under the same gold standards as the majors. There is one level of safety," Cohen told the safety board.
...
But a new survey conducted by a business travel group found that 66% of corporate travel managers say the business travelers they represent have voiced fear about flying on regional carriers.
What's more, 80% of the business travelers avoid turboprop planes primarily because of safety concerns, according to the survey of 212 corporate travel managers, travel agency executives and others by the Business Travel Coalition, a trade group in Pennsylvania.
Also, 63% of travel managers said their companies had policies that let employees avoid flying on regional air carriers even if it would cost more to book with a major airline, according to the survey.

Maybe? But for a head count would this above be a bad thing because now the 767-400 becomes one category with the 7ER and disappearing 767 categories. But over the long run isn't it worth it?
Not to unlike another plane in the fleet that may get this work over.
