Originally posted by BobS:Worse yet they do not get paid diddly squat compared to other law enforcement agencies. So they get all the reject cop wannabes, they are the bottom of the barrel. Give a low paid, uneducated, unskilled person authority and nothing but bad will happen. On the other hand Aldon has not learned when he needs to chill out and keep his mouth shut. He needs to learn when to bite his tongue and go along with the program.Originally posted by btthepunk:Originally posted by Jd925:I don't think what Aldon did was that bad. He was just trying to make a point. This TSA thing is ridiculous, a waste of time and just serves as a way to get people subservient to the government. This whole airport security system gives some of the psychologically challenged people who work at the TSA an opportunity to molest men, women, & children and get paid for it. I support Aldon. He just isn't one to back down. Stasi Goodell will carry out the dictates of our government and probably suspend Aldon for a number of games. It's unfortunate for the 49ers, but it's about time more people stand up the the TSA. People are getting molested every day.
This. Basically...f**k the TSA.
Yes, I understand that it may be a "dangerous" job but I don't think that means we should be respectful of them. I'm pretty sure that a lot more retail and fast food workers have been injured and even killed at work than TSA agents have. Most of them aren't doing it because they care about our safety. They're doing it for a paycheck, benefits, and to have authority.
All true, but it's a shame we have to act like cowering dogs to these thugs.
