>For some people, jobs are hard to come by, I would wager the majority of TSA
screeners do not have any better paying options, so to criticize them for being
a part of a faulty system, or to paint them as being "from a sixth grade
mentality", or "trying to get employed with border patrol asap" when they are
just trying to provide for themselves and their families, who may not have
better options, is pretty unfair. I don't think so. It's very valid to criticize someone who works for a morally
corrupt, unneeded and socially harmful agency, no matter the reason. Your
argument is basically a sophisticated "but think of the children!!11oneone"
appeal to emotion, ie not a valid argument. If there aren't any better job options (which I highly doubt), then it's
another gigantic fucking failure of the government that needs to be fixed ASAP. |

No. Criticising someone for engaging in lawful employment because you think that job is immoral is fine, but don't pretend there are no valid arguments for having that legal job.
> If there aren't any better job options (which I highly doubt),
We could have a look at job ads for TSA, and the requirements of the job, and then have a look for similar jobs; and then somehow find out how many people are applying for those jobs.
And we don't know the churn rate of TSA. Perhaps people take work there and leave after 3 months because they realise it's "evil" or a waste of money or whatever.
