Just read that the US Border patrol is way down on agents, because they are leaving in droves to join the TSA (as have a lot of FBI, police, sheriff, Secret Service etc). I wonder if it is the money (surely not; they still only get minimum wage there)
Perhaps I'm not following you. Are you suggesting that TSA employees only get minimum wage? Even the TSA screeners get more than minimum wage. There are plenty of management jobs at TSA that pay a lot better than what the screeners get and the law enforcement officers joining TSA are not joining to be screeners.
