Human nature, at any level..............

A former TSA screener turned blogger who is now causing embarrassment for the federal agency has revealed that TSA officers routinely laugh at and make fun of passengers’ nude body scanner images in back rooms.

In a blog entitled Taking Sense Away, the anonymous ex-TSA worker reveals how he, “Witnessed light sexual play among officers, a lot of e-cigarette vaping, and a whole lot of officers laughing and clowning in regard to some of your nude images, dear passengers.”

The revelation was in response to a reader who asked, “Tell us, please, what really happens in that private room and why the TSA does not want it seen in public nor recorded.”

The ex-TSA screener also ridiculed the existence of I.O. rooms (image operator rooms) where naked images produced by body scanners are viewed by TSA agents.

This, to me, is not a "revelation," it is human nature. I have to wonder if there is any one of us who has shopped at a Walmart, and not "thought" some of the same things. I think back to my younger days, standing behind a crap table in Reno, and commenting to the other dealers, quietly, when some customer walked by, good, bad, or indifferent. Is it alright to think it, but not comment on it. I would have been shocked if someone had revealed that it "did not" occur.
