TSA Employee Pulled Drug Prank Twice

How is what he did "humorous?" The writer who thinks that what he did was funny obviously does not have a daughter in college! Imagine what she was thinking, and going through as that was happening! Have you ever had your luggage searched? I have - it is humiliating and frightening because you never know what they have touched before your luggage, or what they could sneak in to your luggage - AND HE DID!! You read about frightening stories about people in prison in other countries for this very thing--HOW DO WE KNOW IF DRUGS WERENT PUT INTO THEIR LUGGAGE?! Yeah, it is hilarious. Can't wait to get on another plane....

p.s And I agree with Laontour completely! Thanks for the links.

If we put Mossad in charge of airport security we would have no worries.

To those who think these people don't make a good living better read this....

Must be nice to have benefits like that !! Here is a link to the pay scale

And those are BASE pay they adjust your pay for location.

Trust me these people are getting paid very well for standing around with their thumb up their butts. The problem in America is people always THINK they are worth more than they really are. That is the "Union" mentality which is destroying this country. My boss always said "There is no such thing as Not My Job" and if you ever said that you were fired. The world doesn't owe you a living and the youth of America need to understand that and so do their parents. We have a lot of lazy bums in this country pushing a button on an assembly line for $35.00 + an hour and think they deserve more !!! well news flash ... NOT !!!!!

That TSA employee should be fired from their job, arrested and incarcerated.

What do you expect from the Rag, Tag bunch of losers. To get a job at TSA you must either be someone's dumb relative, or a minority. I believe toll takers are one level higher then this group. Everyone has a story about this bunch of losers. Take out the illegals and put Americans to work. Half of the TSA people can't or won't speak English.

i ALWAYS THOUGHT THE T.S.A. WAS A JOKE, JUST SIT THERE IN THE AIR-PORT AND WATCH THEM.ITS BETTER THAN WATCHING TELEVISION. i DONT KNOW WHERE THEY GET SOME OF THESE PEOPLE.

Though I find the prank inappropriate, I find it kind of nice that the employee was trying to interject a little bit of humor in a tedious job. Most all of us passengers treat them with disdain, and many of them rightly deserve it. I don't believe the persons intent was malicious, just having some fun.

TSA at LaGuardia in NYC are the absolute worst and don't have any idea how to treat someone with a medical device (pacemaker). I have a pacemaker and also carry a card to show that I have this implanted in my chest. Upon arriving for my departing flight back home, I told the TSA agent I have a pacemaker and can't walk thru the metal detector because it will set off the alarm. She tells me, and points, "you need to go over there". Which is where the people arriving from their flights walk thru. I go "over there" and this young employees has his chair leaned against the back wall and he's half asleep. I tell him the lady "over there" sent me over here. He has no idea what is going on, so we walk back "over there". By then this woman (because she was no lady) is aggravated to be bothered once again by someone who is just following the rules (she evidentally doesn't know the rules). So there I stand, being searched just like I'm a terrorists, when I could have just walked thru the airport to the waiting plane because the little boy in the chair was sleeping. Now you know how some of the terrorists get on board these planes. I wrote TSA in LaGuardia and got an email, not a professionally written letter, saying how sorry they were this happened and they would check it out. I can guarantee this witch is still there.

While waiting for various relatives to board and depart I searched for ways to break security and discovered how easy that would be to do. As Isreal says; "Instead of wasting your time looking for weapons you should instead be looking for terrorists!" It is such a waste of time strip searching little old blonde hair blue eyed grandmothers and teen age all American girls. Doing this is going to encourage another attack!!!

I don't understand the comment about minimum pay,the pay you receive is what you contracted to work for,doing one of the most important jobs in the airports with millions of people's lives in your hands, you're saying that because you receive minimum pay you are going to do, a half a*s job,if you feel that you deserve high salaries you have to have high qualifications,and that something you acquire prior to applying for job.
