En TSA-agent forteller om jobben sin (og andre historier)

[Discus]

Dear America, I Saw You Naked

And yes, we were laughing. Confessions of an ex-TSA agent.

...
“Working for the TSA,” I wrote, “has the feel of riding atop the back of a large, dopey dog fanatically chasing its tail clockwise for a while, then counterclockwise, and back again, ad infinitum.”
...
We knew the full-body scanners didn’t work before they were even installed. Not long after the Underwear Bomber incident, all TSA officers at O’Hare were informed that training for the Rapiscan Systems full-body scanners would soon begin.
...
The only thing more absurd than how poorly the full-body scanners performed was the incredible amount of time the machines wasted for everyone.
...
All the old, crass stereotypes about race and genitalia size thrived on our secure government radio channels.
...
But we would also sometimes pull a passenger’s bag or give a pat down because he or she was rude. We always deployed the same explanation: “It’s just a random search.”

Re: En TSA-agent forteller om jobben sin

Den bransjen er pill råtten, og ledet av gjennomført udugelige ansatte. Problemet er bare at de har mandatet sitt fra en gjeng som er de mest udugelige av de udugelige; byråkratene og politikerne....

Når det er sagt så har jeg litt dårlig samvittighet for å behandle de som jobber i sikkerhetskontrollen dårlig. Det er tross alt ofte folk som ikke kan forvente å få en bedre jobb, de må ta det de kan få.

Re: En TSA-agent forteller om jobben sin

En litt på siden av topic, men om TSA - de har fått laget en randomizer-app for en god del dollar. Kikke på videoen og den iherdige betjenten som står og trykker og trykker.

So how much did the TSA pay to have the Randomizer iPad app developed? At least $336,413.59.
