    May or may not be true. As we all know, some people will say anything to bring down a system they hate - and the TSA is almost the most hated system I know of here in these United States.

    I don't think there's any question that the TSA has hired folks that have turned out to be thieves, pedophiles and child pornographers. Such incidents have been all over the news over the last year or so. If the assertion is that they are doing this intentionally (I don't get that from the article), that would be criminal.

    My reading of the article (with the exception of the anecdotal phone call) is that they are seen so woefully inept that they shouldn't be entrusted with filling the positions.

    Personally, I believe them to be so woefully inept in most facets as to be disallowed existence (the agency, not the individuals).

    I couldn't agree with you more.

    Who else are they going to hire? It's not your average Joe that wants to put his/her hands down another's pants to check their junk...

    I'm just saying...

    Now we're checking the veracity of claims in the media? I suppose that someone is going to tell me next that Wis. Governor Walker didn't have a child out of wedlock, which was 'announced' just days before the recall election.

    This just cannot stand!

    The job involves molesting people.

    What kind of applicants do you think a job like that is going to attract?

    Seems like common sense to me. :dunno:

    In other news: There are also pedophiles & child pornographers working at Walmart, Kroger, your local gas station, Subway, Quiznos, JCPenny, Rural King, Big R, Victoria's Secret, Apple Store, Best Buy, Target, police department, fire department, water department, department of sanitation, streets department, etc etc.

    If you hire enough people - you WILL get bad apples. Background checks don't catch those who haven't been caught themselves.

    So, employees at none of those places demand legal carte blanche to manhandle children passing through.

    I can't stand the TSA or any of the sub-human maggots who work for them, but I seriously can't see them issuing a policy directive to deliberately hire pedophiles. Would the TSA hire pedophiles through gross incompetence? Yes. Would pedophiles be attracted to work for the TSA? Yes.

    If the TSA can't screen out such people as employees, can we really believe the agency is competent to screen terrorists from boarding passenger flights?

    This information should be readily available to the agency during job screening, it's not like the TSA can't obtain fingerprints and FBI criminal checks on job applicants.

    They can print all the people they want to hire the thing is that if they have not been caught they have no problem giving up the prints. If they are caught then most likely they are felons and that would DQ them from the job to begin with.

    The link I posted was someone who has a history, a history so well documented that he was recognized by TV reporters who had done a story on his case. What about those? Federal background checks for other positions of trust involve in-depth investigations with agents questioning references and interviews with past employers. I guess this job doesn't involve enough responsibility.:rolleyes:

    Entirely correct...as usual.

    If you hire enough people - you WILL get bad apples. Background checks don't catch those who haven't been caught themselves.

    Bad apples are EVERYWHERE. In EVERY kind of job. They come from EVERY socio-economic background. They come in ALL skin colors. They come in ALL sizes, shapes, and genders, too.

    TSA may be different in how it's mandated / legislated and what not; but is the same outraged expressed at an institution that hires a pediatrician that turns out to be a pedophile? That person is also "mandated" to "manhandle" children.

    This is a sucky world, people. And no matter how much we'd like to, we generally can't insulate ourselves 100% from it's suckiness.
