I know someone who is a TSA inspection person. She has told me with humor, and sometimes horror, and sometimes regret, about what these folks do and why. You betcha they get off on the power, and the actual planning to harass people. Often saying "Who's the B++++ of the day?" and cackling over who gets picked and what gets done. It is turning into the ugliest thing in the US- revealing hate, anger, racism, sexism, class revenge and all sorts of very ugly but consistently motivating forces in the US underbelly psychology. We have every right to be afraid, and take note of this very failed experiment.
