The High Cost of Failing to Secure Air Travel
So, how many confiscated nail clippers sold on ebay does it take to fund the TSA?
Not enough.
$500 phone call (that's call, singular, domestic!), millions paid to shady private contractors that disappear, $1500 to rent extension cords for three weeks. The list goes on. (Wapost)
$741 million in a single year and they can't even keep a 20 year old drunk from stealing a plane 68 miles away from New York City.
Three quarters of a billion dollars sure goes a long way to confiscating items any moron knows are safe, or confiscating pocket knives from armed soldiers though, so they get high marks for being bureaucratic idiots. (Hmm. Idiobureaucrats has a nice ring to it.)
As to keeping the skies safe, I'll stick to driving.
