It seems that chuck schumer and michael gianaris want the tsa to create a position in each airport of a passenger advocate. This is a person that passengers can complain to after they have been molested or otherwise mistreated by the perverted thugs in the tsa.
Well, hmmm, that does a lot of good. You still get mistreated, but now you will have someone to complain to about it. I'm sure that will lesson the sting for the next 80+ year old woman who gets strip searched and misses her flight.
I have a better idea, why don't we fire the tsa from every airport in the Country and use contractors instead? At least if these positions were filled with persons from a private company, there would be some recourse for people who feel as though their rights were violated. Good luck getting any kind of resolution from unionized government thugs. It ain't gonna happen.
The 80 something year old woman who claims she was strip searched recently has been called a liar by the tsa. The claim the entire incident never happened. Let me ask you, what does she have to gain in this? Nothing. I am much more inclined to believe her than a group of people known to violate our Constitutional rights at will, with no consequences.
At the end of the day, schumer's reactive approach doesn't really do anything to solve the problems that law abiding American citizens have to deal with on a daily basis. Besides, do you really think another tsa employee is going to be any more sympathetic to allegations of mistreatment than those committing the offenses?
