The Transportation Safety Administration (TSA) is without comparison, the most worthless waste of taxpayer dollars in U.S. history. It is a total and complete, 100% failure that should be defunded and eliminated, along with the Bush created monster, the Department of Homeland Security.

An irrefutable truth is the TSA is absolutely useless and has done nothing, let me repeat that truth, nothing, to make the traveling public safer. That’s right, kids… not one thing, period. That is a fact that is not arguable for a person with an IQ above that of a field mouse.

There have been dozens, if not more arrests of TSA personal committing crimes, there currently over 67,000 claims of stolen items by the TSA, and that’s just for starters.

The chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, which oversees the TSA, has asserted that the release of a classified report on TSA security failures will renew calls for the replacement of the agency with private airport security personnel.

“The failure rate (for body scanning equipment) is classified but it would absolutely knock your socks off,” Florida Republican, Rep. John L. Mica told reporters during a briefing Monday.

Mica also asserted that recorded instances of pat downs failing to detect contraband are “off the charts.” This information is also currently still classified, but is due to be released within weeks as part of an upcoming committee report on the TSA’s first decade.

Mica suggested that the TSA’s performance report would read “sort of like the record of the Marx Brothers”.

The TSA has withheld results of its official security tests, despite repeated requests to release the information under the Freedom of Information Act. Read the rest

Let’s make this perfectly clear. You don’t ignore FOIA requests unless you have something to hide, and we all know the TSA has plenty to hide.
