I'm sure their protocol is extremely rigid, just as it is here in the EMS world. Public safety has gotten that way over the years in all forms fire, EMS, police, TSA, etc. Deviate and you're screwed because that protocol is your Bible and you better have it memorized word for word. I get tired of seeing people in pain and family members suffering all the time, but it's my job that I chose and I wouldn't be here if I wasn't willing to deal with it.

I have a degree of sympathy for them in regards to just needing the job in this economy. They're in a sucky situation, I'm sure many of them were employed long before the enhanced pat downs and scanners were implemented. What should they do, quit over moral issues? Not in this economy.
