TSA Doesn't Like Fatties and Smellies


A traveller undergoes an enhanced pat down by a Transportation Security Administration agent: Staff have said that they also find the searches unpleasant

Security is now fighting back at the public saying how much they don't like dealing with people who smell and the obese. Gee, I can't imagine why.

As millions of people prepared to travel for Thanksgiving,  passenger backlash was growing against the measures introduced by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).

But after being contacted by a travel blog, 17 security staff came forward to express their disgust at the policy put in place last month.
They said that they hated having to carry out body searches, with one claiming that it was worse for him than the passenger.
'It is not comfortable to come to work knowing full well that my hands will be feeling another man’s private parts, their butt, their inner thigh,' one told the BoardingArea blog.
'Even worse is having to try and feel inside the flab rolls of obese passengers and we seem to get a lot of obese passengers!'

Another said he had a huge problem dealing with a 'large number of passengers... daily that have a problem understanding what personal hygiene is.'

All the staff said that they had experienced a high level of personal abuse while carrying out the pat-downs.
