TLDR; Work at an airport making $17 an hour and a simple mistake can lead to a $30k personal fine by the FAA/TSA. Work for a major airline as a baggage handler (a LOT more tasks than just handling bags). I find it mind-blowing that if you misread a catering truck and sign off/are set up by TSA, you are PERSONALLY fined $30k as well as the airline being fined $50k. Does the govt not realize these baggage make $35k full-time before taxes? It's really sad in my opinion.
