I never said that anywhere in my statement above, if it was implied, please tell me where. I am saying people can disagree with the policies of their employer and still stay at their job. Sometimes this forced through financial, geographic, maybe social reason. If the worker is actively disregarding human rights, then that is a single issue with that worker. If you think it is TSA enacting these human rights violations, then blame them, not the people just following what their bosses say.

Let's suppose I want to "blame them [the TSA]." Okay, who should I be complaining about? Which TSA employees is it okay to hold responsible for forcing my daughter to have a nude photo of herself taken? Supposing that every person today who applies for a job today with the TSA knows about the body scanners and the pat-downs and the unexplained detentions, to what extent are new job applicants morally blameworthy for applying for a job that they already know involves all of these things? At best, your argument covers people who applied for jobs with the TSA before anyone knew what the TSA was going to be doing at airports, and who have over the course of 18 years been unable to find work elsewhere. What share of TSA employees do you suppose that is? What's your guess?

  The TSA is a federal agency so there are plenty of proper channels to complain through. My argument covers anybody that doesn't actively revel in these terrible things that the TSA does. There are TSA employees who never have to do or deal with these types of things. I can't give you a number, I don't even want to guess because that would be silly. You can complain to the woman/man at the desk who takes your ID all day long, but if they have never kept up with the latest TSA news then they are just showing up for a paycheck. I am saying it is extremely unfair to lump everybody into one category just because they work at a particular company/agency that you actively dislike. You don't know their thought process.
