In Pittsburgh, five TSA employees were fired and 47 suspended. Not for being rude to passengers, not for stealing, not for groping, not for being over-bearing. No, five were fired and 47 were suspended for gambling in an office pool.

My god, the horror. Taxpayers paid for a 2-month investigation to apprehend these people. I know, it's hard to believe but it's true.

"TSA sources say they just finished a two-month investigation into the office betting. The investigation found that TSA officers at the airport had an office betting pool, and officers were betting on everything from Nascar, to the NCAA, even football."

Even, football. Hard to believe, isn't it? I know but to quote the police inspector, "I am shocked, shocked mind you, to learn there is gambling here." "Here are your winnings, Inspector." "Thank you."

IRS targeting conservatives? Not important. Benghazi? Not important. Selling guns to drug cartels? Not important. Office pool in the TSA office in Pittsbugh? Move on it. The government's reputation is at stake.

Yeah, it sounds stupid but if you are breaking the law on the job what good are you, really?

"OUR" (and I use the term Very Loosely) priorities are absolutely ridiculous!

I wonder if anyone, anywhere spends a day on the job without breaking a law?

TSA agents get fired for violating rules, failing tests, falling asleep on the job and a myriad of other reasons.

not quite sure why you're put out about this.

Liberals clearly have no sense of responsibility, no sense of shame, but apparently they have no sense of proportion either. Their habitual distraction from legitimate problems is overwhelming.
