I am a former TSA Supervisor. - Reddit

Interesting read it and sounds legitimate. Former STSO isn't too happy with management but I didn't see any revelations here.

Wonder if this is one of the TSA workers that we have encountered?

From the above link:

What's he referring to?

 

Could it be TWIC (which crashed and burned, after they had conveniently taken people's money, of course -- will dig up article)?

 

Yes, it must be TWIC. From that same thread:

 

This former TSA agent is an (expletive deleted). Have you read further down the thread?

"Mistakes were made"?? Are you kidding me?? Lying, obfuscating twit. And disciplined?? Really???

What a crock of (expletive deleted).

Yeah, buddy, we "don't have a clue" because we don't go along with your phony-baloney security theater. You're so brave and responsible, trying to protect us from The Big Scary Terrorists, and we're all just weenies who don't get it.

FOAD.

 

God, his (expletive deleted)-ishnes just keeps expanding:

 

"The other place" had an alleged screener (former screener?) show up for a couple of days, put up about 50 posts and then disappeared. This person on Reddit sounds very similar.

Actually, we had a screener here who wrote two posts and then also disappeared.

 

Then he blames a passenger:

 

God, he sounds like Rugape. Or Blogger Bob. Or any number of propagandists:

 

Deputy dog complex -- Andy in Mayberry w/o the brains.

 

I wish that site wasn't such a textual clusterfbomb. If I could stand to wade in there, I'd like to ask him some detailed questions about administrative search doctrine after that fourth amendment comment.

 

Oh, also, this:

He says, as though there's no peep booth still on the backscatter. Plus, I thought it was a safe for preschool image? And that these are trained professionals who aren't passing judgement on people's bodies in there?

Not to mention how dickish and unprofessional his whole attitude is. Dude, none of us want you to see us naked, nor do we want to see you naked. You're the one who's gross, for being willing to sit in that peep booth and degrade people.

 

May explain why he couldn't even hold a TSA job.

kind of like getting fired from unemployment.

 

I noticed elements of both Ronnie and Rugape in his reponses. The attempts at contrition "Yes, mistakes were made, I tried to fire those who kept making them, wanted to make a difference, better training, etc." puts my mind right to Rugape and the bit about "explaining" the 4th amendment as it only applies to police searches looking for evidence of a crime (WTF?) and saying "I can't make it any simpler" is a classic Ron-bo stunt - purporting to give answers when all one is really providing is more confusion and obfuscation.

 

I believe it was GSOLTSO who said that the TSA employees were grown in petri dishes. That'd explain a lot of the similarities.

 

I thought that was really interesting. I hadn't heard that before. What a war criminal profiteer piece of work that guy is.
I find it interesting to read threads like that for what I learn from it: factoids like the above, or where there has been dissent, etc. I certainly don't read it to expect to find agreement.

 

I wouldn't believe one thing this guy said. In one of his comments he mentions sheet explosives and that they have actually been found at the checkpoint. What??? If so, I'm sure it would have been on the TSA's Great Catch list and shouted from the mountaintops...

 

Didn't ronnie boy talk about TSA finding sheet explosives once? Sounds like internal indoctrination.

 

That guy probably is Ronbo.
