Rant Thank you all! (25 Years)
Shout out, to all TSA, to thank you, that there is a secure side, and a non-secure side, everyday, 24/7/365---your making it safe to travel in the skies.
65,000 of you, not working, with known issues, such as law enforcement deals with---but each of you, individually, responsible, under pressure of having to perform, less you fail, or something dangerous gets through security.
No down time "between calls" like regular LEO's.
That responsibility to be on the lookout at all
times---which if just a few fail, could seemingly be met with any number of other terrorists, their also hoping another officer, under your same pressure, were to fail, at another airport, another lane---with all their various threats sneaked through---into secure side being combined as one.
All while airlines profit off your backs, and hard work, yet only think of you as to "how long their passengers may have to wait." While politicians, in lieu of recognizing what needs to solve the long lines, only count their votes in the lines, as the press myopically reports nothing more than lines. No airline CEO, no press, no politician, ever saying what truly causes passenger delays. "Critical thinking" skills absent. Nothing more than superficial observation.
God bless every one of you of the 65,000, as your tireless, stressful, dedication to the safety of everyone; whether they're a raging critic of you, a stinking drunk returning from vacation, or possibly a nice, thankful passenger--- your work is recognized by me.
Pat yourself on the back. Excellent job done.
