TSA agents are apparently still confused as to whether the District of Columbia is in the U.S.

Because people are fucking stupid, and TSA agents are the people who fit the stereotype of 'kids picked on in high school who want to be cops to have power over others', but couldn't meet the standards to be a cop.

Not only are they petty, egocentric, and selfish, they're also fucking stupid because they're the absolute lowest bar because of the government's requirement to have SO many on staff, but lack of desire to incentivise the job with anything appealing to someone with a truly professional mindset.

So you've got people who are of the caliber of Taco Bell employees, but on a power trip. Yeah, some of them are just getting by, some may even love and care for their work. Many, many are there because they can't find anything else that will hire them and appeals to them.
