Can we please disband the TSA? Agent finds pepper spray on floor, gasses 5 other

[Prometheus]

You really can't make up the stupid crap these idiots do.

An agent was distracted from it's normal job of sexually assaulting innocent travelers and dished out a little karma on 5 fellow sexual predators.

I can't think of a more incompetent, thieving group of corrupt individuals.

A random member of congress?

It's hard to pick out the dumbest item in this story...spraying your friends....not knowing what pepper spray looks like....going to the hospital after being sprayed. Hospital?!

Ridiculous for the average person, par for the course for these people.

Touche!

Sharp as a marble...

Sounds like someone filled ot their ID10T form in crayon!

Just like guns always seem to go off by themselves this pepper spray "accidentally discharged", okay.

It may have been more like:

"Hey Bob, watch this!"

 

[cobber]

Good thing it wasn't a real bomb, or terror weapon with poison gas. Why on earth would you discharge or manipulate an unknown object??

They really train these fools?

Does anyone remember the episode of The Simpsons where Homer repeatedly cloned himself. At the end of the episode all the clones fell into a canyon. This was obviously the TSA human resources department entrance in disguise.

Just wait. In five years, these clowns will be everywhere: Shopping malls, sports events, schools, parks, trains. They may even do traffic stops on our highways (pure speculation on my part).

The obvious solution is that in time the fed will have one TSA/DHS agent for every citizen. They will follow us every step of our lives and insure we are: 1) safe and 2) not doing anything illegal. Of course they will need their own TSA/DHS agent as well. Infinite employment opportunities.

Kinda split on this. On the one hand TSA does gum up the works when traveling and should be relegated to the parking lots checking to see if the paint separating the parking spaces is in a straight line. On the other. letting them continue on with their idiocies could mean they will fall harder and farther when the bough breaks.

Well, at least we'll know how to distract them---"Officer, what do you mean I can't...wait, is that a laser pointer over there? Why don't you guys shoot each other with it."

I'll rest easier knowing Barney Fife's illegitimate idiot love child is on the front lines in the war on terror.

They'll never fall. Judging from the reaction to the change re-allowing small pocket knives on planes, the sheep have been quickly and thoroughly conditioned to accept the security dog and pony show that is the TSA.

We can't disband the tsa. Think about how much money that would take out of the local economies. They pay taxes too. If we privatized tsa, the contractors will cost more than the government employees.

Did I leave anything out?

Even the TSA isn't mightier than the almighty dollar. If enough people stop flying because of the TSA, maybe some changes would come.

This is true.

If everyone did it just ONCE, it would change things. If everyone decided NOT to fly on one day, it would make a huge impact. The airlines would start to put pressure on lobbyist, who put pressure on congress, who put pressure on TSA administrators.

TSA is immune to you and I but not coming from the top down.

And seriously, who can't put off flying ONE day?!
