You don't know the half of it.
The reality is, most TSA workers are good, hard working people. When you have a very visible, public workforce of 45,000, there will be some bad eggs in there. Don't hate on the workers. It's very likely they hate doing what they're doing more than you hate them doing it to you. The real problem is that it's just become a bloated bureaucracy, that's ineffective because all of the procedures are politically motivated. It would be possible to have just as secure screening, with half as many workers, and less invasive procedures. But for whatever reason, those in charge want to push the limits of the 4th Amendment, and make air travel as difficult and uncomfortable as possible.
Don't blame the workers...they're just trying to feed their families in this terrible economy.
