'More full-time union workers' than airport screenersThe Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is
ending collective bargaining for Transportation Security Officers with the TSA,
Fox News reports, citing a release obtained by
Fox Business.
According to the report,
The TSA has more people doing "full-time union work" vs. performing actual screening functions at 86% of US airports. Put another way, 374 out of 432 federalized airports have
fewer than 200 TSA Officers to perform screening functions, while the rest are paid by the government but work "full-time on union matters" and do not retain certification to perform screening.
What's more, DHS cited a recent TSA employee survey which found that
over 60% of "poor performers" are allowed to stay employed and "not surprisingly, continue to not perform."
(Also, maybe get rid of the nut-grabbers in the TSA patdown area when we don't want to submit to those Total Recall scanners made by Leidos - formerly SAIC).

According to DHS, eliminating collective bargaining will make airports more efficient by eliminating "bureaucratic hurdles that will enhance productivity, and lower passengers' wait times in security lines."
DHS says that TSA Officers will now be promoted based on performance vs. tenure or union membership."Thanks to [DHS] Secretary Noem's action,
Transportation Security Officers will no longer lose their hard-earned dollars to a union that does not represent them. The Trump Administration is committed to returning to merit-based hiring and firing policies," a DHS spokesperson said in a statement, adding "
This action will ensure Americans will have a more effective and modernized [workforce] across the nation's transportation networks — meaning shorter airport security wait times. TSA is renewing its commitment to providing a quick and secure travel process for Americans."
Comment: Any regular air traveler could have told you that. TSA agents are a byword for laziness and incompetence.
Interesting TSA factoid:
do you really think it's about "advanced security " ?
it doesn't detect f.a., it generates, and focuses these frequencies between 30 GHz and 300 GHz (5G), (they're called millimeter waves because their wavelengths are between 1 mm and 10 mm) into you so they can see through you but the downside is the waves mess up your DNA among other things.

try to avoid being near anything 5G related; take a pat down (TSA feel-up) if you have an option.
