I think it depends on the person. I rather have a "too funny" TSA worker who makes smart comments than the asshole ones who think they're god.
TSA Worker Leaves Message To Passenger Who Had A Sex Toy in her Luggage
09/17/2012
Well since how TSA is supposed to held in high regard (cough,cough) and if you argue with them you can get arrested. I would say that they deserve to be fired!!

I am between actions in this case. I'd laugh, for sure. That said, I would also be shocked that someone had that kind of nerve. They should definitely be punished in some sort of way, but maybe not fired. It just depends. I wouldn't like the idea that someone might have... HANDLED such a thing. Who really knows? They should definitely be suspended. It's sad enough that the world requires that kind of close watch. I see it being important, but it's still invading. When someone does something like this to make it worse, it's just sad. Hilarious, but sad. Haha

I think it's kinda funny, but still inappropriate.
10/12/2012
fired no repimanded yes
10/14/2012
Fire the employee! Its bad enough "THEY" have the right to violate our privacy but they shouldn't have the right to harass you too!
10/16/2012
somewhere between reprimand and nothing. it may be inappropriate, but your bags do get checked. you know that when you go to the airport

From the article: Not satisfied with fumbling through Americans’ private possessions, one TSA screener saw fit to make a humiliating joke about the contents, writing a personal message on a TSA inspection note after finding a sex toy in writer Jill Filipovic’s luggage.
After arriving at her hotel, Filipovic was unpacking when she discovered her bag had been individually searched by a TSA screener who, having seen the “personal item,” saw fit to comment, writing “GET YOUR FREAK ON GIRL” on the reverse side of an inspection notice.
“Total violation of privacy, wildly inappropriate and clearly not ok, but I also just died laughing in my hotel room,” wrote Filipovic.
She's since filed a complaint with the TSA.
So, how do you feel? less

Totally inappropriate (but I chuckled). I'm on the fence whether the person should be fired or not.
10/28/2012
Should be fired. No personal message should be left in anyones luggage, only messages for TSA.
10/28/2012
I do NOT think this is funny. Actually, I think that this is straight out harassment.
While I don't think it necessarily is an immediate firing offense, I'm sure the TSA has some kind of HR department that will make the call. Generally they use a one or two strike warning system.
He would definitely be on close watch if it were my employee.

fire this person. you shouldn't have to be told this is not right. if you do something like this you definitely have difficulties with proper boundaries

while they have the right to search you luggage and may come across an adult toy or other "embarrassing" item, it is inappropriate to leave a message in them. what if some screener left a note commenting on your dirty underwear or something like that!

TSA staff are federal employees, so that behavior is not a surprise.
01/06/2013
Everyone's luggage is searched so it isn't an invasion of privacy, but leaving a note like that is sexual harassment--not okay, and a reason to be fired in any other circumstance. Why not this?
01/08/2013
While this employee's actions are totally inappropriate, I can understand how he/she may have discovered her "personal item" and thought to make a joke. I can only hope that TSA employees don't handle my personal items any more than what is necessary to do their job.
01/19/2013
Funny? Yes. Humiliating? No, not what was written. Fired? Depends on the employees performance evaluations, but I'd say a reprimand is in order.
01/20/2013
People need to get over themselves and if the lady wasn't comfortable enough with TSA seeing the toy then the dumb bitch shouldn't have put it in her bag. >__>
01/20/2013
It seems like the TSA agent probably didn't mean to be disrespectful, but at the same time it was not appropriate.

I think the employee should probably be fired. You should be as professional as possible when you are doing through people's personal things.

i would be really embarrassed

Yes, the nature of the note affects my reaction as well. "Get your freak on girl!" would have me rolling with laughter, but a critical or judgmental note would have me complaining faster than you can say "harassment".

I seem to get my bags tossed every time I fly. I don't think it was funny, but I also don't think the person should lose their job. No one was physically hurt or injured and the only reason this is a public matter is because the complainant made it so. If I had received that in my bag, I probably wouldn't have report it. Had I been told that I was going to hell for having it in my bag, then I would have. I'd probably only take a toy if I had a carry on anyway. I'd be more worried someone would try to take the toy out of my bag to "save me from myself" as some of my books have gone in the past.

I would be PISSED off, more than anything. It's bad enough they're rifling through my stuff, but to leave a note? I wouldn't want someone to lose their job over it, though. Eventually it would be funny, but after a plane ride with all of the security crap, it would be hard to see the immediate humor.
03/31/2013
It's not funny AT ALL to me and it's completely unprofessional. It could be completely humiliating to receive such a note, and it could motivate someone to sue the TSA for harassment. Given that there are real threats to our safety that the TSA is supposed to be guarding against, this kind of nonsense is an unacceptable distraction.
If that employee reported to me, I would have fired them, no discussion, no questions.

I think it's really inappropriate. I get that luggage gets searched, but that's really overstepping it.
03/31/2013
That's terrible! I would be furious. I understand all luggage is subject to inspection, and that is fine. But I expect TSA personnel to exhibit professionalism while doing so.
