So who's responsible for abuse by the TSA now or is the TSA and its officers totally immune from illegal acts?

- DannyBee 8y agoThe TSA has an administrative process for filing claims (like most agencies). They went through that and it was denied. There is no claim in that lawsuit that the process was not fair or reasonable.
- syshum 8y agoWe investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong.... Classic
- DannyBee 8y agoNot quite - usually these processes are handled by appointed administrative law judges who are not directly associated with the agency. In DHS's case, i don't remember what they do. But the process is usually not quite that dumb.
- kelnos 8y agoIt's a bit ridiculous that the only process for this sort of thing is a recipe for bias and lack of justice. If an agency that is known for incompetence and overreach is simply allowed to investigate itself, without any independent oversight, I don't have much faith that complaints are given a fair hearing.
- DannyBee 8y agoIt's not quite that stupid - see my other comment. It's usually an ALJ. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Administrative_law_judge#List_of_U.S._federal_agencies_with_ALJs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Administrative_law_judge#List_... I admit to not remebering how DHS does it though.
