Screener from LAX arrested for child pornography. Where are they getting these people?

It seems to be one story after another lately for the TSA. It appears a screener from LAX was arrested for child pornography. A screener Bill Alfaro was accused of having 1500 videos of children on his home computer. This is the second recorded arrest in two weeks of a screener involved with children.

This has to make Americans wonder how these people are getting employed.  TSA officials claim there is no way for them to know about a person’s personality based on their background check and that it could happen with any organization. There is a small part of that which is true but what gets me is the TSA does make any attempt to stop these people from gaining employment. As it stands now the Tsa has lowered its standards so far that a person is not required to have a high school education. Their  turnover rate is so high, they will take anyone. This is one of two main factors, the second being piss poor management, that makes the Tsa what it is today.

There need to be a change and needs to happen now. The Tsa needs to first treat their employees with respect and as professionals. This simple task alone will greatly reduce  turn over and improve morale.  The second thing they need to do is raise their standards to that of a professional organization. It really is that simple, if current management can not accept this then they need to be let go.

For some reason the Tsa management believe we as Americans will allow ourselves and our children to be screened by criminals. They refuse to step out of their Washington offices to see how things really are. Tsa management are firm believers that if they can’t see it then it must not be true.
