So what you're saying is that we need a new organization to monitor/police the TSA... interesting. I like your authoritarian approach. /s

As soon as the initial news broke of the shootings, Ms K said: "Bullshit!  Betcha it's a disgruntled TSA employee!  WHo else could get around there that easily with a gun?" 

She just said, "Dam, I'm good at this shit."

I think I gotta cower in place as she's taken the "Itojaso" award for the day.

"TSA spokesman Greg Soule said the agency has a zero tolerance policy for workplace violence."

Hostile work environment is in the job description though. If he was hung like a 4H bull & beat him with that baton, it would have been acceptable.

Cue the family videos and pictures to memoralize the TSA agent who sacrificed his life for us. It's clearly time to arm them....teachers in schools, not so much.

 

Edit... Uh Oh TSA agents shooting TSA agents? That's not supposed to happen. Those billions of rounds are reserved for us.

If he had done the right thing and not taken a job terrorizing US travelers and conditioning US slaves, he probably wouldn't be dead (but living in LA, it might be a crapshoot).

It isn't absolute rubbish. Haven't you heard that the last plant that made lead bullets in America was shut down by the EPA? It was in Missouri, and now it's gone. Look it up. Those billions of rounds the government bought were bought while the getting was good.

Now, all the ammunition you can buy will be made overseas...which can be embargoed by the President like he did Garands from Europe.

Trying to get the lead out of car batteries is a worthless endeavor. The lead isn't worth much if it means ruining your equipment with acids. Or, do you think you can spray on some neutralizing agent and just call it good?

It's better to let recycling plants get those batteries, so they can ensure purity and dispose of any contaminants. Take the money you get from that to buy boat ballast, which is usually lead. It's just much easier.
