TSA agents caught on hot mic griping about feared boss and brutal schedules

TSA agents were caught on a hot mic before a Tampa press conference led by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, venting about being “terrified” of a supervisor and frustrated with their exhausting schedules. As more than two dozen officers waited for the event to begin, one recalled fearing a superior from their HR days because “she did discipline stuff” and didn’t trust them “to be around any of it.” Others complained about long hours and limited days off. The remarks came weeks after TSA agents were forced to work through the historic government shutdown without pay, amid a partisan fight over Obamacare subsidy extensions that Democrats insisted must remain in any spending bill.
