TW, You are lying. TSA does not pay their employees a lot. Yes, you might make a decent amount of money, however, do not make it seem that working a federal job in an airport is that great. I actually have two family members who currently work for TSA. One is a higher up employee. I work for a private company and my benefits are MUCH better than those of TSA employees.
I also know that both TSA and different airline employees steal things that are left on planes. TSA thinks that they are someone super important, you are not. You are almost the same as a mall cop, except because you decide whether or not someone can get on a plane, you have a big ego. There are many nice TSA employees out there, however, many of them are @$$holes because of those three little letters.
