Union Stupidity Knows No Bounds

   In the aftermath of the LAX shooting, the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) has proposed arming TSA agents. To quote Politico, "Union leaders say the enhanced status would help protect an unfairly demonized workforce."
   UNFAIRLY DEMONIZED WORKFORCE? Who the hell are these unionized clowns kidding?
   TSA started off with a blaze of glory. They were going to prevent future 9-11 attacks by tightening up security. Oh yeah, they were going to be that thin line between the good citizens and terrorists. They were going to prevent mayhem at 30,000 feet.
   What they became is different from their public image.
   First off, they are poorly screened. Convicted criminals, including PEDOPHILES have been hired. Here's a pic of their favorite book:

Over 400 TSA agents have been fired for THEFT.
    One notable sexual harassment incident had a "nicely built" lady going through the scanners SEVERAL times while TSA agents commented on how hot she looked. If I was her boyfriend or husband, there would be some TSA agents missing teeth--at least.
   TSA was supposed to provide TRANSPORTATION security, primarily at airports. They've expanded their "scope" to bus stops, train stations, SHOPPING MALLS, public events and even a high school prom. I'm still trying to figure out how the hell a shopping mall, a high school prom and the Democrat National Convention qualifies as TRANSPORTATION.
   The TSA has "Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response teams" that go to bus stops and train stations to "augment security." These jerkoffs call it VIPER, as if it were a deadly snake, but in reality, they couldn't find a whore in a brothel, much less do anything meaningful with her.
   They did so well screening AMTRAK forbid them on Amtrak property. What does that say about TSA's "competency?"
  Another incident I read about had me at the boiling point and only reinforced my belief TSA is completely inept.
   Plane of troops returning from Iraq. The troops were screened in Iraq before getting ON the plane. They were to stop at Indianapolis long enough to drop some National Guard troops off and continue on. The other troops would remain on the plane.
   The troops were pulled from the plane, RESCREENED (mind you, these guys had WEAPONS), for "contraband" such as fingernail clippers, then put back on the plane. When asked why they didn't say anything about the WEAPONS the soldiers had with them, the TSA said "Weapons aren't any good without ammo."
   Hey, TSA dumbasses, let me enlighten you to the concepts of "Buttstroke to the head" (a good hit with an M16 butt CAN cave a skull in), "vertical buttstroke to the head" (break a jaw), "buttstroke to the groin" (you'll sound like Michael Jackson afterwards) and the "smash" (when the buttstroke is driven smack into the face, breaking jaws, teeth, etc.).
   I didn't create their reputation--THEY did all on their own.
   It's been reported (I can't remember the sources) that the LAX shooter had a grudge against the TSA. Oh, gee whiz. I can't possibly imagine why ANYONE would think poorly of an agency routinely compared to the Gestapo.
   Does the AFGE truly believe its a good idea to give these bozos guns and law enforcement status or is it another way to get more government stormtroopers guns in anticipation of the Second American Revolution?
