“Molester, pervert, disgusting, an embarrassment, creep. These are all words I have heard today at work describing me, said in my presence as I patted passengers down. These comments are painful and demoralizing, one day is bad enough, but I have to come back tomorrow, the next day and the day after that to keep hearing these comments. If something doesn’t change in the next two weeks I don’t know how much longer I can withstand this taunting. I go home and I cry. I am serving my country, I should not have to go home and cry after a day of honorably serving my country.â€
Just one quote from TSA airport screeners not happy with the new patdown rules. It turns out your average security guard does not want to touch other people’s junk for eight hours a day, the occasional pervert excepted, nor likes it when travellers get upset with them for having to do so. The comments thread gets a bit overboard, nazi comparisons flying fast and loose, so be careful.
