Man, I thought my job was thankless...

As usual, your anticipated link for the day.

I suppose I take issue with the author of this article referring to the TSA screeners as "the burger-flippers of the security industry". I'm not a traveler, and I like to stay home. But, to refer to them in this way is unnecessarily...demeaning.

Of course, to hear Mark tell it, these people really aren't very...sophisticated. But, how much do they save us from and we don't know it? I would think that we should be grateful, since they do their part to deter terrorism. True, there are loopholes and things that get missed, but doesn't it help even a little?

Just seems like they should be given a little bit more respect.
