GAO report reveals increase in TSA employee misconduct

A new government report says misconduct by Transportation Security Administration workers has increased 26% in the last three years.

Some of the most serious violations include:

  • Employees sleeping on the job
  • Letting family and friends go without being screened
  • Leaving work without permission
  • Drug use

    I'm sorry, weren't the TSA employees supposedly screened for security purposes? Was there no investigation into their character. This is not a random population, so comparing them to a small city is completely irrelevant. Sounds like the hiring process needs some work.

    what do you expect from an agency that pays peanuts and has no real benefits to attract professional workers?

    Here comes the uninformed knee-jerk reactionaries with their idiotic TSA bashing.
