The new head of the TSA, a former FBI agent named "John Pistole", apparently is having feelings of bureaucratic inadequacy because his agency has no armed employees. So what he wants to do is have armed TSA cops.
This is not just a bad idea, it is a horrible idea. The TSA is a pit of fuckery and arrogance as it is and now he wants to give those asswipes weapons?
I presume that when Administrator Pistole says that one of his priorities is "engaging its customers", he means that he wants to shoot at them. This plan to arm the TSA baggage thieves is supposedly "not completely baked." "Half-baked" would be a better description. He has to have been sniffing glue to have come up with this idea.
There are cops all over airports as it is. Why the TSA now wants to have its own armed goon squad makes no sense to me. For you know that once the TSA gets guns, then they are going to have "SWAT" envy and they'll form those groups and then you'll have TSA goons swaggering around the airport in full SS gear.
The TSA screeners should not have access to any weapon more hazardous than a pair of plastic round-tipped scissors, such as pre-schoolers get to use.
The time to stop this stupid idea is now.

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

This is one post that is SPOT-ON! I couldn't have said it better if I tried all night.
ReplyDeleteThose minimum-wage mouth breathers are the last ones that need to be issued a weapon.
I so used to love flying and now I absolutely HATE IT...

First day, about fifteen of those morans leave their weapons laying around in the secure areas because they're heavy. Average of six accidental firings a week.
ReplyDeleteI've gotta disagree with you. Not one of them has enough intelligence to be trusted with plastic round nosed scissors
ReplyDeleteMost of the TSA's employees don't even qualify to be mall cops, and the TSA wants to give them guns? I mean, c'mon. Paul Blart, Mall Cop, is a friggin' genius compared to these losers, and you'll notice they only trusted him with a baton, a whistle, and a Segway scooter... uhm, the TSA, I wouldn't even trust with that much!
