Have you met them? They're basically otherwise unemployable.

Meh, I'm sure their local police force, who are toally well trained and organized and not filled with overweight people, would gladly accept them, just look at what the average cop looks like. These TSA agents will fit right in.

(Not that I want there to be more cops, but sadly thats where these people will end up. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ)

The comment about weight was unnecessary, even though I broadly agree with the message.

I was imagining that their point was that police officers are supposed to be fit.

I have a friend who is a TSA agent and he's a lovely and intelligent person. He took the job because it was the best thing available to him and federal jobs (usually) come with very good benefits and health coverage. He hadn't seen a doctor for about 6 years before he got the job because his insurance and PTO was so terrible at his last job.

Yeah, there's always some exception. Hope your friend is doing well.
