Default TSA Redeaux..

Authorities told Barr that his “record is clean, so it’s like I don’t exist.”

LOVE THIS SENTENCE!

“I was dumbfounded,” Smith said. “I told him, that's not what Wicca is. We don't cast spells. That's not witchcraft. That's black magic or voodoo or something else. To put a spell on a heater of a car, if I had that kind of power, I wouldn't be working for TSA. I would go buy lottery tickets and put a spell on the balls.
I'm being told I could be fired during my 1 year probationary period for just about anything (I don't know if that is true or not and hopefully I won't need to find out), but I think that should she get a lawyer for the next go-around in court then we might see a very different outcome. She might not even have to put a spell on those power-balls to hit her payday!

And it sheds light on work life at the TSA, where the 40,000-plus public employees who keep bad people and bad things off of airplanes have started voting this month on whether to join a union.
YGBFSM. These retards are forming a UNION?!? Thats like a bunch of retarded monkey's all throwing feces at each other forming a union. Worst of all at the cost of the tax payer. And WHAT has the TSA ever prevented? This crap is out of control.

I can only hope that airports will start using the opt-out option and boot this worthless agency to the curb.

Sorry Grumble the opt out is not an option at this point in time.

You have to ask yourself why so few airports have used this option especially considering the amount of time that has passed since the TSA was implemented.
Another thing to consider is why Clear is only in 2 airports at the present time .

As a side note-An airport before this new rule was put in place could opt out but still had to abide by TSA guidelines.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Quote from the first article.

“The nation is secure in the sense that the safety of our skies will not be left in the hands of the lowest-bidder contractor, as it was before 9/11,” said John Gage, president of the American Federation of Government Employee, in a statement. The union represents TSA screeners.
LOWEST BIDDER?!?!? Who do you think your employees are, students from the Chuck Norris school of security??? This makes my eyes bleed.

Someone elect me to into office and I will make it my sole mission to completely disband the TSA.

The agency (FAA) fired quite a few folks in the ATC field in the recent past, some just days from completing probation.

That's how they showed their "power" over the union. Classy group.

Ya, I think you'll be better than we were, management wise. But we made plenty of money to put up with it ;-)

After Obama was voted in, the agency got the controller's contract fixed. And, in general, there's less animosity between the work force and the management workforce.

Glad I'm not part of it anymore. Kinda sick some of the stuff the agency did, just because they could.
