I have been a screener working for TSA, and currently a BDO working for TSA, and I can truly say that TSA is the most incompetent, corrupt, and dysfunctional agency in US history. I personally believe that the headquarters level management of TSA are on al-quaeda’s payroll. That would explain why they would put a security force in place with ONE week of training on how to run a machine and absolutely no training on explosive detection, or IED recognition. It would also explain why upper level TSA management would go to former contract security companies ( Globe, and Argonbrite) to train to set up their security screening program, instead of turning to federal agencies who were already doing a similar job at the airport such as US Customs. They instead went to the same companies that TSA was set up to replace. This would also explain why every suggestion to start an actual TSA office of law enforcement (non FAM) have been ignored. Also as bad as the Air Marshall service is, the front line screening operation is far worse. TSA uniformed personnel have no employee rights, no employee protections, very low wages, (among the lowest in the fed) and no respect. TSA screeners have also been subjected to unfair hiring practices, sexual harassment, racism and physical intimidation by TSA management. At the same time screeners are the subject of constant scrutiny and blame for policies that they have no decision in.
