      Fuck the TSA, but the people who work there because it is a paying job deserve stable employment like the rest of us. They don’t make the decisions.

          When they have enough oversight that the “thin blue line” is no longer a thing.

          Everyone should know the Chris Dorner story.

          Depends how responsible you think the system is for their behavior and if you feel people deserve a second chance.

          I think ACAB, but I believe their bad behavior is mostly due to systemic pressures.

        But most of the time you can choose your job… Of course working for the TSA might be more comfortable, but what you do with your life is not usually forced.

          Yes, you can choose your job, but it is a pretty big pain in the butt to do so. I don’t feel like the “you can just get a better job” argument is a strong one in general.

      People being forced to work without pay is slavery. No one deserves to be a slave, even if they’re normally paid to do something and that something is not useful.

        It’s sad that this is apparently a unique take. Sure, “fuck giant corporations”, I agree. But pay the fucking workers who literally do everything.

          Nobody is forcing them to take security theater jobs oppressing other people. Even the workers can get fucked imo.

              I guess if all you do is worship at the altar of the dollar bill and have no morals then this is a logical argument to make.

                Or, you know, have children that rely on you.

                But yeah, fuck them. Let them eat cake. They’ll be fine.

                  You’re acting like it’s the only job in the world. Maybe don’t have kids if the only way you can put food on the table is by ruining air travel for 100% of people?

                    Sure, people can just un-have kids. That’s how the universe works.

                    Also, I don’t know if you’ve ever tried to find a job, but they don’t grow on trees.

            Work is work. They’re patting down people and scanning x-ray screens. If you disagree with the TSA, vote to abolish it. Until then, requiring that department to work without pay only affects the Working Class.

              I don’t get to make the decision either way. But I know that they couldn’t be out there humiliating disabled people if working class people refused to take those jobs.

              Just because they’re poor fucks like the rest of us doesn’t mean they aren’t pieces of shit, just like the police.
