Tell me what they’re doing now that had anything to do with catching Radical Muslims trying to hijack airplanes. That’s what Bush set up - a way to stop radical Muslims. The current system sees conservatives as terrorists - and graandmothers - they don’t even like to check Muslims because they’re a liberal ‘protected teachers’ pet’ group...
Really, I’d like to know.
TSA and DHS is all about feeling good about ourselves and always has been. Neither have much of anything to do with counterterrorism which is the province of the DoD, CIA, FBI, and NSA, which have not done too bad a job of it. DHS/TSA is and always was an irrelevant distraction, a way to funnel lots of money into defense contractors and friends of the President (both parties). It is about distributing pork (both parties) and always had been.
Believe me, I am not defending Obama / Napolitano. But team Bush was really not a whole lot more competent. Cheney was hardly an Eisenhower, Marshall, MacArthur, Nimitz in terms of running a military strategy to accomplish a job. It was a total fiasco, actually.
