TSA is a JOKE! It stands for "Time Standing Around" or "Try Staying Awake". I travel frequently for work. There may be a diligent few who take their job serious but the overwhelming majority have no idea what they are doing. My checked baggage is often rummaged through and just stuffed back in the case however they feel like jamming it in. There is always one or two over inflated egos at the metal detectors, they are easy to spot. A month ago they had no job and suddenly they become Barney Fife with an attitude. There are some who will confiscate what they want in the name of security. If you have any electronic devices other than a camera, they are dumbfounded and want to perform a swab test on it. They then rummage through the bag with no idea what they are looking at and take everything out without paying attention to how it was neatly packed before they started......then when they are done they will say "Should I repack it or do you want to". This one in NEw Orleans was particularly sloppy about the process so I told him he should and he just started stuffing things wherever he felt like it. I asked for his Supervisor who was even less intelligent than he was. They have no respect for people's property. They have less respect for people. If they want to check out people's checked bags, they should have to identify themselves by an I.D. number on the card they stick in the bag so if you have a complaint, you can trace who checked the bag and they can be held accountable. More than once they have failed to secure the latches and my bag has come rolling out at baggage claim with contents following after it. PRetty sad for a bag that has military style latches. Most of the just want to get paid to stand around and chat with their buddies and check out the females at the airport.
