TSA’s Customer service under scrutiny – House Representative Gerry Connolly is threatening to introduce a bill requiring the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to be more polite to their Customers, airline passengers. During a hearing about the TSA’s Screening Partnership Program, Connolly said passengers would likely cooperate more with TSA agents if the agency’s workers used better manners when they deliver their instructions. “There’s no excuse for a contractor or employee of the federal government barking orders continuously at the public at any airport in America,” Connolly said. “Every member of Congress is in the Customer service business. We experience what you experience. People aren’t all the same. Some people are very cooperative and some people can be less so. I happen to believe that the less pleasant the experience, (because we don’t get Customer service right … ) I actually think it contributes to less cooperation, resentment and a desire frankly not to cooperate. We don’t want that. We want people understanding our mission.” Connolly said he would consider introducing legislation to require the TSA to improve its Customer service if the agency did not make changes on its own. “I don’t understand how hard it is to teach people [to] make sure you use the words ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ when you’re interacting with our public,” he said.
