Outside of a sheltered workshop, I have rarely encountered such incompetence, ineptitude, rudeness, and bad smells as when going into an airport and meeting up the the Thousands Standing Around. These people are fools, with apologies to fools.<BR/>If you wish to secure aircraft against hijack, my suggestions are<BR/>a) put on the floor a banner with the word ''Allah'' written on it in Arabic, and force all would-be passengers to walk on it<BR/>b) issue all passengers a K-bar knive. 100 highly motivated passengers with K-bars versus three Islamo-heathens with box cutters should have a good outcome. <BR/><BR/>There is not one thoughtful person who did not know that TSA would turn into a chicken guano organization, just based upon the dolts who were involved in the creation of it. You can't mend it. End it. Close it down, Bury it. <BR/>Contract with Mossad or the like to provide the service.tnmartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03789043439002576201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10820485.post-23111328073406242292008-02-26T21:34:00.000-05:002008-02-26T21:34:00.000-05:00A job with TSA is seen as akin to flipping burgers...A job with TSA is seen as akin to flipping burgers at McDonalds. It is something one does when one can't find anything else to do. The reason they have high turnover is that many of them eventually found "real" jobs.crosspatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02202499155608563500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10820485.post-7660281737534791602008-02-26T18:15:00.000-05:002008-02-26T18:15:00.000-05:00If the workforce has remained constant (most likel...If the workforce has remained constant (most likely not, but let's just play here) at 43,000 over 6 years and 110,000 have worked there in that time, then (110,000-43,000=) as you mention, 67,000 people have left in 6 years. That's (67,000/6=) about 11,167 employees leaving every year... or an average annual attrition rate of (11,167/43,000=) 26%. If 17% left in 2005 and 14% in '06... that indicates that more than 26% left in each of the other 4 years. Not sure where you got the 18,000 a year number from.Brian Chabothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13217024441959750848noreply@blogger.com
