New Uniforms for TSA Screeners

Well another tax day has come and went and I'm sure everyone is happy to know that a portion of your hard earned tax dollars will be spent to provide all TSA federal agents screeners with a new police-esque uniforms. Yes, they got their blues and no more embroidered "TSA" on the back of their shirt. They even got a REAL metal badge, no more sewn on badges for these screeners. This must be a reward for catching 2 our of 22 test bombs sent through a checkpoint.

Go on over to the TSA Checkpoint of the Future, and you can also check out a 360 view of the new uniforms. When you go, please note the wider belt and the "high-quality" tie. Move over Barney Fife, there's a new sheriff in town and it's the TSA.

Let me explain why you/the author are idiots as my past comment was not “well put”. 9/11 happened because we were paying airport security personnel 5 or 6 bucks an hour and they were not engaged with truly keeping threats off planes. The TSA, which ARE federal law enforcement (which you should have known) are paid closer to 16/hr. If this hourly wage upsets you, the fact that you are paying for it should REALLY upset you (and that makes me happy). They are well trained, educated, and UNDERPAID for keeping ingrates like you safe. I’m SO sorry if you had to surrender your Old Spice cologne that was over 3.4 ounces, but we do it to keep you safe.

Ah hah! The truth comes out!

I'm feeling a little dizzy from your power trip but let's all try to move on with our lives now. With petty tiffs like this, it's no wonder this country is self destructing.

As an individual who claims to be a federal officer, I guess I would expect a little more than 8th Grade name calling when you feel threatened by nameless, faceless internet handles. Your apparent void of any self confidence would lead anyone to picture you as an overly defensive shallow man with an axe to grind just wandering around with your fists up looking for a fight. I honestly feel sorry for you as you are undoubtedly living a truly unfulfilled life if this is how you interact with people, especially those who see things differently than you. Good luck anyway.

mcdizzle slams the hammer down. as they say in the biz, keep on screening, maybe you'll catch one of those illegal tweezers or something but miss that other real weapon.

If they were;
A. Well trained
B. Educated
They would;
A. Not make $16 an hour.
B. Know how to spell....

Thank you for taking the effort to protect me from myself, but a pen or a shoe could be a dangerous weapon. TSA is a cruel joke. Get realistic for a change.
