Quote:In a move that could affect security at airports around the nation, the Transportation Security Administration confirmed Wednesday it had such a backlog of background security checks, airport employers were allowed to hire any employee needed.

TSA officials said the background checks are delayed, but they are processing them as fast as they can.

TSA also will complete background checks on accepted applicants at a later date.

They have no problem hiring thieves, drug dealers and perverts. Man, I bet they don't even have mandatory drug testing for potential hires.

Probably new hires are related to congress.

Looks like were getting close to Berlin Wall time.

You people have not done your research. Shit has been f*cked up for a while....
"Fifty thousand Transportation Security Officers (TSO) were quickly hired and rushed through one-week training courses. Although these officers are now federal employees and receive improved training, they are still security guards. Even so, as "officers" of Homeland Security, they exercise great power over the flying public.
The TSA transformed contract screening guards into quasi-law enforcement officers and provided uniform training and policies; however, the TSA was organized as a top-down directed organization, which allows very little discretion to individual officers. It's "one size fits all" approach to screening results in well-intended, but outrageous conduct by its agents.
In an attempt to prevent collective bargaining and to avoid adding Democratic-leaning permanent workers to the federal bureaucracy, the Republican-controlled Congress exempted TSA employees from most federal civil service laws. Instead, the Secretary of Homeland Security and the TSA administrator were given virtually unlimited authority to create a personnel system. This action was to have a number of unintended consequences.
Although legislation has been introduced to bring TSA officers into the federal civil service, the TSA administrator retains absolute control over the personnel system. Exercising this power, administrator John Pistole granted some bargaining rights earlier this year.
While Pistole's order provides greater job protection to officers, it does nothing to improve the existing TSA personnel selection system. As presently constituted, the employment process perpetuates mediocrity and limits the ability of TSA managers to hire and promote the most qualified officers.
Currently, TSA job applicants primarily use the Internet to identify job announcements for TSA airport operations at more than 450 airports, complete applications and take an online test to measure their ability to operate screening equipment.
All English-speaking US citizens over the age of 18 with a high school diploma, a GED or one year of experience as a security officer or X-ray technician, meet the basic requirements for TSA officers, as long as they are current in their payment of income taxes and child support.
The main problem is that, once applicants meet these minimum requirements and pass a physical examination, drug screening and perfunctory background investigation, they are lumped together with all other applicants in a hiring pool for each job site. Unlike general civil service rules, there are no ranked lists of the most qualified applicants within these pools.
Under the personnel standards established by the TSA administrator, local managers are required to select officers from the hiring pool based on the earliest applicant first, irrespective of their additional qualifications. Thus, a local TSA manager must hire a high school dropout with a GED and no experience who applied one day before a college graduate with a degree in criminal justice, who earned his or her way through college working for the campus police department. While some managers conduct oral interviews of candidates, only in rare cases are they allowed to reject candidates who meet the minimum qualifications."

It does. But even Hannity fans don't like being groped.

There's no way they can pull off total tyranny in this country.

The boiling frog approach won't work.

And the reason is they misread Orwell, and they skipped the most important part of Machiavelli:

Whoever impoverishes himself by war acquires no power, even though he be victorious, for his conquests cost him more than they are worth. - Niccoló Machiavelli, The Discourses. 1517.

When a decision has to be made involving the fate of powerful cities that are accustomed to free institutions, they must either be destroyed, or conciliated by benefits. Any other course will be useless; and, above all, half measures should be avoided, these being most dangerous. - Niccoló Machiavelli, The Discourses. 1517.

The problem they have is they teach our kids we live in a free country.

They can't unteach that, and the more they ratchet this up, the more people notice something's way f*cked up.

And/or put them through cancerous microwave body scanners...otherwise you get molested with dirty gloves used on hundreds of people from all over the dirty globe, carrying all kinds of bacteria, parasites, live, staph infections, and viruses...How is this still allowed to happen? Phony "terrorism" is the excuse but that's total bullshit as we all know, an old tired alibi used by every dictator throughout history to get control.
