My experience with the employees leads me to believe that they may not be our best and brightest.

I’d like to say that I’m surprised, but I am not.

While there are tons of problems with the TSA, protecting those that aren't the brightest is part of the reason unions exist, isn't it?

No. the reason unions exist is to

  • Force Companies to Protect their workers well being and provide better working conditions
  • Force Companies to share the profit of the company with the employee's

Unfortunately a side effect is that unions also protect the stupid/incompetent/lazy to the detriment of the company AND union.
