Sorry, I thought this thread was about how great the new armour model is and how addictive the panzer can be.

Nothing more for you aviators to see here. Move along, move along.

LOL.

I wonder though how much these screeners get paid. If it is near minimum wage then we get what we pay for.

I suppose I could read a magazine, alot of folks that do a similiar job DO, however I choose to use the time to grace you with my posts from a laptop :D


Rip...  

8,000 + posts  ?

Furious: Bunch 'O' love muffines preaching good work ethics.
...and which of you posted from the office?   hmmm?
herd mentality at its finest.  flail away.

 That would be your concern only if you were the one paying the salary.
 So we can rightly squeak about employees of a public sector because we pay their salary with our taxes. What we do in my job for a private company is between us and our bosses.

indirectly all expenses of corporations, publicly or privately owned, are paid by people (one reason why corporate taxes are such a load of crap - just another way for gov't to take your $$ w/out you knowing about it).  if you're wasting you organization's $$$ then you're costing your clients unneeded expense, an expense which gets passed allong as inflated prices or fees until it reaches the final consumer who if overcharged on one item, cannot afford the second item (costing a job down the line)....essentially all wealth growth can be traced to productiviy growth.

You mean they probably won't throw themselves in front of a barking AK-47 or jump on top of a human bomb for McDonald's wages?

So you're not posting from work??  If you are does your boss know?  

Paying taxes make you the boss of jack toejam.


Feel free to be indignant though, I am just laughing.

The TSA went from 12 guys to over 40,000 in about 120 days... I would like to point out that 39,999 members of the TSA went to work that day and did their duty.


And yes I (CAV) am one of your Federal Baggage screener's. One of many that for the last four weeks have been working 12 hour days just so you buttheads can fly on time during the x-mas season.

One guy fall asleep, but most of us in  the TSA are trying our damnest to get it right. I was in the Army 22 years, went to war and many others things. But the TSA is one of the hardest tasks I have ever taken on.

So when you see things like this.... Well, toejam happpens.
