More exceptional behavior by the TSA
An airport security worker was arrested after throwing a cup of hot coffee over a pilot who told her to stop swearing. Transportation Security Administrator (TSA) Lateisha El, 30, was in the middle of a conversation with work colleagues at a JFK Airport terminal when she was interrupted by the American Airlines pilot. Off-duty airman Steven Trivett, 54, was exiting terminal 8 when he overheard El swearing and asked her to tone down the profanity. (www.dailymail.co.uk) More...

The pilot, nor anybody else, needs authority to ask someone to stop using profanity. The airport is his part of the pilot's workplace, and you better believe I would have said something if it were my workplace. The only immaturity is a worker not doing their job and acting like a kid when they were called out. There is a complete lack of respect, morals, and work ethic these days.
"Exceptional"? No. This is their routine behavior.
"Trivett, of Butler, Tennessey..." Am I the only one that caught that?
I THINK IT IS TIME THAT THE TSA SHOULD BE SCRAPED.. THIS IS JUST ANOUTHER MESS UP BY TSA..LETS GO BACK TO PRIVITE SECURITY AND END THIS ONCE AND FOR ALL...
Would this have been posted (here on FlightAware, or in a UK newspaper) if a TSA officer hadn't been involved? If it had been a police officer instead of a TSA officer, the incident would have made local news and that would have been it. Almost every day someone finds something, even if it's just a personal blog, about the TSA to squawk here. And it's not hard to find something to squawk. The media knows that it's an emotional topic that evokes a lot of "discussion", so they're happy to keep cranking out the same kind of story to feed the flames.
Enough already! We get it -- many people don't like the TSA. So do something about it. We've become a society of whiners and complainers. It's so much easier to post an anonymous opinion than it is to actually DO SOMETHING. Write to the head of the TSA, write to your congressman and senators, write to the President, go to election events and talk to the candidates -- one of those efforts might actually accomplish something. But complaining endlessly accomplishes absolutely nothing.

We make change by "whining and complaining", Indy. I have made my voice heard in Washington by contacting congressman, and senators. I live in a Leftist State. The reps here want to keep the government gravy train running so my comments go in the circular file. The only way to evoke change is to keep these thoughts in everyone's face.
