This from the Washington Post:
At Charlotte Douglas International Airport in 2011, 23 employees were disciplined after an investigation into checked baggage screening.
At Honolulu International Airport last year, TSA moved against 48 employees (36 proposed firings, 12 suspensions) for not screening luggage properly.
And this from the "Union" representing the malefactors.
“I believe it’s more a function of the fact that 1) the standards of conduct are both clearer and more stringent at TSA than at many other federal agencies, 2) TSA workers are more in the public eye than many other federal employees and 3) TSA has a more streamlined disciplinary process than most agencies,” John Palguta said by e-mail. “So when there are problems they are more easily identified and more quickly dealt with.” He is a Partnership for Public Service vice president who previously worked for the Merit Systems Protection Board and the Office of Personnel Management.
So, other Government workers are worse? We just never hear about it? Those examples above are the sum total of ever instance ... everyone who does wrong gets caught?
And this helpful note:
At Newark Liberty International Airport, 44 Transportation Security Administration (TSA) employees face disciplinary action on charges related to screening misconduct. In June, eight transportation security officers there were dismissed.

So the Washington Post is just putting a by-line on a TSA-written article?
