Great work again, Annie.

When I was in Army CID, we were too often “ambushed” by federal agents who thought their badges meant more than ours, who threw their weight around as though they could do no wrong … and damn anyone who suggested otherwise. That this attitude is so thick at TSA is not really a surprise.

Some TSA agents want us to think terrorists fear the whisper of their name.

Arrogance like that from some TSA/DHS agents can trickle down to screeners and they then leave because they feel like Maurer wanted Burks to feel; like a stupid, scared “civilian.”
