For about a year now I have thought that being a TSA agent would be a cool job. You spend the day at the airport, use one of those shoulder radios and wear cool uniforms. I am aware that there is much more to it and these agents are there for our safety and protection. Those are more reasons that I thought being an agent would be badass.
