The TSA folks are odd bodies looking for a government job -or signed on by a contractor for $9/hr -$12/hr if they are licensed to carry.(Haven't seen TSA folks carrying)<br />2. Very few of these folks would pass the screening employed by most US police departments.<br />3. Don't compare them to yourself.<br />4. Have been military and in various aspects of the security business for many years -and frequently learn stuff from your writing.<br />5. Wackenhut might have some people on your level -but not many.<br />6. Require TSA HR or a civilian contractor to maintain standards that you would accept as an understudy and they'd run screaming from the room.<br />7. There just aren't that many good ones out there. <br />V/R JWestAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3486091724602248905.post-27559971178409533072010-12-10T19:28:09.525-08:002010-12-10T19:28:09.525-08:00But Mr West, I've spent the last 30 plus years...But Mr West, I've spent the last 30 plus years stopping trouble as a cop and "defending" the coutry as a soldier. I just can't understand when a person, like the TSA folks I've seen at the SF airport are so dumb when it comes to checking in firearms and screening soldiers traveling on orders. <br />I didn't feel any safer...as a matter of fact, I felt like we'd be safer without the illusion that they were doing something good.CI-Roller Dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10850472230525879415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3486091724602248905.post-21030187913571394112010-12-10T13:02:01.881-08:002010-12-10T13:02:01.881-08:001.

Thanks for my good work on their behalf?<br />3. Turned out the SS had a list of about 20,000 potential threats in the local area. Guys who said or wrote stuff deemed to be threatening -or just people like me who had the capability to cause trouble, if we felt like it.<br />4. That was years ago -God knows how long that list must be now.<br />5. The list of lettered agencies concerned with internal security has done growed, too. <br />6. The accusations about the American public coming from their leadership make it likely that there are a few lists out there.<br />7. And, yeah, bitch at TSA and you just might wind up feeling a little love when you deal with them.<br />V/R JWestAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3486091724602248905.post-66542950249656843612010-12-10T10:30:34.124-08:002010-12-10T10:30:34.124-08:00Mr West,

But since I don't give a shit and hate fucking flying anyway...I'll let it go. <br />I remember what a smart man said one time: "You can't fix stupid."CI-Roller Dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10850472230525879415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3486091724602248905.post-75194734633448114652010-12-10T06:38:08.268-08:002010-12-10T06:38:08.268-08:001.

Everyone contracted to perform governmental duties is subject to oversight by the contracting authority.<br />4. If KBR, Blackwater (Xe), Mantech, Triple Canopy -and on and on- fall short, they are in violation of contract and subject to disciplinary action by the government.<br />5. TSA can't pass it on to the contractor. They are responsible.<br />6. The weasel-worded reply probably reflects organizational culture.<br />7. Judging by the ignorant and accusatory crap coming out of the mouth of that organization's 'leadership,' your reply might be the school solution -at least until they get called on it.<br />V/R JWestAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3486091724602248905.post-68010165029485831052010-12-09T13:30:26.593-08:002010-12-09T13:30:26.593-08:00Did you expect a reply of, '...thank you, Dude...Did you expect a reply of, '...thank you, Dude, we'll get right on that.'?
