TSA Union Calls for Arming Some Airport Employees

A TSA Union is asking for permission to have certain TSA officers armed with deadly force if and when necessary.  This current topic arose when a man charged a TSA desk with a Machete, Wasp Spray, and homemade weapons such as molotov cocktails.  This attack is the second time an instance as such has happened.  These TSA agents are very vulnerable to attacks due to the fact they aren’t carrying lethal weapons and are the front line at the airports.  Airports rely on police officers for these types of instances which does not do enough.  The Union only wishes to have a new unit that is armed, not all agents.  Some oppose this due to the fact there are shady people and also because they will be targets to these crazy people attacking airports.
