The comments from the TSA employees to me are the most important to get to the right people.

If these idiots can investigate steroids in baseball than maybe they can use a little of our tax money on stuff that is ACTUALLY important and what we elected them to do in the first place.

1. Recent press about FAMs flying less than 1% of flights. Do you know that approximately 40% of FAMs who should be flying are assigned to ground-based assignments. In addition to significant overhead positions, such as assistants to the assistant special agents in charge, the deputy assistant directors and their assistants to the assistant deputies, working stiff FAMs are assigned to non-necessary functions such as FBI Joint Terrorism Task Forces. Like the FBI can’t survive without the FAMs on their task forces. Why? For no other reason than for the USSS managers at TSA to bolster their self image (remember, most of them were low level supervisory grunts, at best, when they where in the USSS). From their perspective, no true law enforcement guy rides an airplane all day as a security guard (I guess they ride limos as a security guard). Why are all the supervisors of Federal Air Marshals called special agents in charge? Those they supervise are Federal Air Marshals. So, why aren’t their bosses called Federal Air Marshals in charge? Cause that doesn’t sound secret service enough!
2. When the head of TSA HR left TSA to enter the private sector shortly after Hawley/Rossides came back into the picture, why did he suddenly come back to TSA a month after he left? Because he was Rossides puppet, who had played her hatchet man, while she kept her fingers supposedly clean. She needed him back. Someone who would just do as told, no questions. Now, here’s the best part of it all. Rossides worked a deal for him to come out of retirement, back to the job he left one month earlier, into a rehired annuitant position, without penalty. That means, he retired from his $158,000 job one month, began collecting retirememt, was re-hired into the job he just retired from one month earlier without giving up his retirement, and was given a new salary of $162,000. So, Mr. Whitford’s new compensation package for working at TSA became approximately $252,000.
3. You should look into whether Rossides did the same thing for herself as she did for Whitford.

Keep up the pressure – what is going on is outlandish!!!

From what I’ve now observed, there’s a significant problem with people being put into critical positions of authority strictly because someone paid them a favor, rather than them being the most capable of performing the duties and fulfilling that responsibility to the American public. Good ole boys hooking up good ole boys. It’s criminal. I don’t have a problem with it just because people are getting fat government paychecks for little or no work. I do, however, have a problem with it because our country is not getting the protection and service it absolutely needs in this critical time, due to the buffoons lounging around soaking up a fat second paycheck and blatantly neglecting their duty.

Whoever stroked a pen and put hundreds of former Secret Service agents in charge of the FAMS, without requiring them to be qualified, did our country a severe disservice. That person should be exposed and shamed. Too many Americans are smarter than that. We know that doesn’t work. However, there it is. The FAMS was expanded rapidly after 9/11, then decimated, as its agents were systematically demoralized and chased off by incompetent and insecure managers who were protecting their gravy train at our county’s expense. How much more vulnerable is our country, due to the failure of these good ole boys? I wonder if they think about that when they’re congratulating themselves in front of their friends and families at parties, or when they’re alone with their own thoughts. I wonder if they can cope with the fact that, in reality, they’ve done more damage to our national security than many of the individual terrorists have. How do we calculate the damage they’ve done, until we get hit again by the next major terrorist attack, which should have been prevented by better men? We’re paying for it, but we’re not getting it. America-0, Good ole boys-1.

None of these recent revelations surprise me in the least. What keeps surprising me is that America continues to suffer the cost without being adequately notified of the situation. I don’t know who our next president will be, but I pray they have the metal to flush the toilet, so to speak, on all the federal corruption. We need someone like Buford Pusser with strong convictions and his big stick!

Exposure is the greatest fear of these federal crooks. They cry the most when their cesspool is uncovered. That’s what hurts them where they live. If you’re in a position to expose federal corruption with hard evidence, you must do it. The crooks only survive if enough people are scared to do anything about them. America deserves better.

God Bless America.
