Default 50 most dangerous TSA officers

Some congressman's office compiled a list of the 50 most dangerous TSA officers.

It'd be funny if it wasn't so sad.

Sadly, this is not suprising.

This is dumb. There are more than 55,000 employees at the TSA. ALPA has about 59,000 members, do you think it would be hard to find 50 scumbags among the ALPA membership?

I am surprised it has only been 50!!! And among ALPA major carriers I would be surprised if there where 50, throw the regionals in there and the non alpa carriers and I wouldn't be surprised just the sheer numbers of ALPA(59000) imply that there would be at least 50.

Did you know everyone who works for the TSA gets a pension after only two years? It starts at a small amount and goes up from there.

Also want to add that the dude from PHL who was arrested for child porn always freaked me out and seemed like he wasn't all there in the head...

So if someone works for a non alpa carrier the odds of being a criminal go up?

Can you give more information about this?
I assume that they are all FERS employees and and I am not familiar with a part of the retirmeent plan that allows for this.

Wow how that deduction came from that statement I am not sure. The comment was about pro airline pilots in the US not ALPA vs Non ALPA pilots. Sheer numbers of pro pilots somewhere in the range of 80000+ (59000 Alpa + SW+ JB+VA) pilots of these there are bound to be 50 or more nuckel heads that screw up along the way. Wow I am dumbfounded by that deduction.
