Bureaucracy and Loathing in the TSA
As a former security supervisor and manager, I do know a little of the red tape and the rules and regulations surrounding security operations. The same rules that are supposed to make the operation run smoothly and help the security officers’ job easier and more secure is also helping to lower the public’s regard of the TSA’s and other officers that they encounter.
Take a look at the TSA blog’s latest post, and you will get an idea about what kind of red tape the TSO’s meet every day, and the red tape’s representatives; TSI’s.
It’s bordering on embarrassing.
