Years ago, flying commercially was probably an enjoyable experience. Across the globe, airport employees treated passengers as customers, not suspects. Somehow, the evolution of society has resulted in a trend of unethical behavior. September 11, 2001, shocked the American public, forcing the United States Government to enact the Transportation Security Act. Thus, the infamous Transportation Security Administration (TSA) was established (http://tsa.gov/about). Since the implementation of the TSA, airports across the nation have declined in quality and safety. Nowadays, a petting zoo is the equivalent to the average public airport. Realistically, the TSA has failed to address and control the growth of unethical behavior within the air transportation

Every time I travel by air, I encounter the bad breath, body odor, or incompetence of the Transportation Security Administration employees. I have witnessed enough children, senior citizens, and innocent American travelers be fondled and embarrassed by bored TSA agents. According to U.S. Representative Paul Broun, the TSA has never stopped an attack, emphasizing that air travelers owe their safety to pure luck. I find the poor outcome to be devastating, especially the fact that the employees of the Transportation Security Administration have yet to stop an active threat of terrorism (http://onforb.es/u2tjly). Rather, the officers are too busy swabbing wheel chairs, screening breast milk, and belittling passengers who question their actions. The disrespectful and arrogant attitude portrayed by TSA representatives makes me physically sick, and I fear for the safety of air passengers every day. I think that TSA employees are playing a dangerous game, and another tragic occurrence is only a matter of time. Officers of the Transportation Security Administration could not care less about the matter of national security. The employees of the glorified retail operation look forward to their next break, next victim, or the end of their …show more content…

The Transportation Security Administration has been, and always will be, a reactive group of individuals. Only the next air transportation attack will indicate what screening procedures the TSA will implement, further burdening and disrupting innocent American citizens. The employees, screening procedures, and leadership of the Transportation Security Administration are evidence of a failing government division. While I’m sure that a few individuals within the TSA mean well, the reality of the division is harsh. I don’t know how much longer the Transportation Security Administration will continue to impede travelers, but the United States of America cannot remain safe and free with little protection. The TSA is outright ineffective in securing our national air space and protecting travelers. Only time can predict the fate of the Transportation Security
