Watch the video. Read the story. Tell me how safe you feel about flying after watching the video and/or reading the story; tell me how comfortable you are knowing Federal Air Marshals are accusing their supervisors that allegedly refers to gays, lesbians and African-Americans by epithets, as well as supervisors alledgedly discriminating against a transsexual Federal Air Marshal who is serving her country to help keep the flying public safe.

Hire people for minimum wage jobs, and you get minimum wage workers.

I have to doubt this part though: discriminating against a transsexual Federal Air Marshal who is serving her country to help keep the flying public safe.

I believe the discrimination stuff, sure.  But I kinda doubt that whole "serving her country/keeping flying public safe" nonsense.  There is no proof of that at all.  Having a government job is not 'serving your country' that's what people in the military do, it's just having a government job.  The most dangerous part of being an Air Marshal so far has been having to eat airline food.
