Don't confuse the TSA with the untrained, underpaid contractors the take pictures of your business through your clothes at the airport.

Say what? The TSA security officers are federal employees, with federal medical and pensions, and they start out making like, 25k a year. Hardly underpaid for a mouth-breather.

Many of them make more than that. There are contractors that make less. Not 100% sure, but I don't think they get the federal benefits. Do you think 25 sacks a year is a good pay rate for someone who has a job in which the description includes the words, "homeland security?"

Only a handful of airports have opted away from TSA employees and use contractors. And I think 25k starting is an ok salary for the skillset required to be an entry level TSA employee.

I can agree with that.
