Explaining how his job involved filing reports on other TSA screeners who didn't follow procedure, "Rob" expressed his alarm at the fact that criminals were being hired who exhibited the behavior of "psycopaths."
"We have a program in the state of Rhode Island where we take prisoners who are out for non violent drug offenses and everything else -- basically sociopaths -- and we're sending them to a ten day course and getting them out in uniform out checking people," said the whistleblower.
Rob added that people who seemed professional were disregarded in favor of applicants who had criminal records and displayed a tendency for megalomania and power trip behavior.
"If they have a background and it's something like violence or abusing authority we put them right in, we put them guys on the floor first day," said Rob, adding he was also encouraged to hire Iraq war veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder.
"It's all about the power trip, it's all about having people bug their eyes out at the public and getting the public conditioned to the fact that the police state is coming," he added, noting how TSA screeners were directed to stick their chests out and "eyeball people."
As a recent report by Tennessee Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn highlighted, the fact that TSA agents are so routinely caught engaged in criminal behavior is by no means an aberration but stems "from TSA's hiring practices and insufficient use of background checks." Source
