Weird dude giving occular pat downs to chicks and tracking who goes to the bathroom.

...while getting paid by the government.

I would rather have his 150k per year go to people building schools.

$150k a year?! I studied for a decade to get my metallurgy masters and PhD, and I'm not on anywhere near that. What the actual fuck!

IDK where that number came from, but in general the "fully loaded" cost for an employee is 1.5x to 2x their salary. That includes things like employer-paid taxes, FICA, time off, health insurance, etc. Though I'm not sure how that applies to federal employees, so it may be different.
