Here we have the lower echelon of the workforce that are at most risk of criminal behavior (minimum wage uneducated workers) You have kind of hit on a very touchy subject that no one (politicians, media, pundits, etc) really want to discuss.
The TSA workforce has over twice as many African-Americans working for it as are in the civilian workforce at large (22% vs. 10.5%)
The TSA was demanded by the Democrats in Congress to be a "make work" program for unskilled people, many of whom are from the inner city (whose population centers are close to major airports).
In my case, 90% of the time I have been singled out for "special treatment" by the TSA, it has been at the hands of a very overweight black woman who was incredibly rude and hostile. The "agents" behavior was appalling in every instance. Had our races been reversed, I probably could have contacted the Southern Poverty Law Center and sued for "discrimination."
Also, in supreme irony, the TSA employment website lists a "Office of Civil Rights" page. Oh, it is not about YOUR Civil Rights.
No no.
This is about "Diversity."

"Our Office of Civil Rights and Liberties ensures all employees and the public are treated in a fair and lawful manner without regard to race, color, national origin, religion, age, sex, disability, sexual orientation, parental status or genetic information. With a zero tolerance for harassment, illegal discrimination and retaliation, our office helps the agency recognize and respect the social and cultural backgrounds of our employee and customers. These efforts ultimately improve our nation's security."
"genetic information?"
I guess they mean perverted Transsexuals.
There. Feel better about your "security" now?
Also, here is some information for Freepers here.
We have been led to believe these scanners are not "saving information." That is an out and out lie. They HAVE to save the scans because they cannot use this potential evidence in court to prosecute you if the scans are not saved. Find the media report on the scanners themselves, and you will see USB ports all over these things.
Secondly, we have been led to believe the scanners are all "blurred" out and can only see negative images only. This also is a lie.
The scanners are fully capable of full color, full image, and full clarity. If you don't believe me, copy an scan, paste it into Microsoft Paint, click image, and inverse the colors.
The TSA apparently seeks out and KEEPS perverts.
This is run by the DNC-al Qaeda of USA.

Sadeq Naji Ahmed - the Transportation Security Administration
hired him as an airport screener after the Air Force kicked him out for making
statements supporting Osama bin Laden and praising the 9/11 attacks.
Ahmed worked almost a year before enough people at the TSA found that
he previously had his security clearance revoked and had to let him go."

"USB Stick May Have Contributed to Deadly Plane Crash
A corrupted USB stick contributed to Spain's worst air disaster on record,
according to a 12,000-page report cited by the Spanish newspaper El Pais and USA Today.
It was initially believed that the crash of Flight 5022 that killed 154 people in 2008
was the result of pilot error, but investigators have now concluded that
a computer infection spread through an infected USB stick may have contributed to the crash."""

Yes, the TSA is a Dem make work program. Remember how the press started hitting W for it a few years in? Now it is all hugs and kisses because 0 is the resident. Makes me sick. At least be consistent.
A liberal's PC dream statement....hits every aspect of (gag) "diversity."
TSA: "Our Office of Civil Rights and Liberties ensures all employees and the public are treated in a fair and lawful manner without regard to race, color, national origin, religion, age, sex, disability, sexual orientation, parental status or genetic information.

These are fighting words in the current political climate.
There is very little tolerance for this type of heinous political correctness vomited up by liberals.
