It’s pretty damned clear that the TSA was formed only to condition Americans to the fact that they are now under control of this NWO tyrannical government

Extremely clear. But then, it's been pretty obvious all along...

Well, the other reason the TSA exists is to provide jobs for grateful idiots.

They stopped Rand Paul once, too.
Mission accomplished!

The IG’s report found that TSA agents failed 67 out of 70 tests.

That's the normal success rate for a government program.

[Dr. Pritchett]

There was a great analogy regarding the TSA in Freakanomics...

They suggested that with all the man-hours wasted standing in line at airport security, it essentially adds up to several human lifetimes. If you consider that Richard Reid (Shoe Bomber) didn’t actually detonate his footware onboard, he still practically exterminated many American lives in terms of time spent doing nothing but standing around being groped by gov’t agents.

Fire. Them. All.

No, the Idiots are not grateful. The still know they are idiots, so they hate their jobs.

[windsorknot]

Whose brilliant idea was it to federalize airport security?

[Flick Lives]

I initially misread the headline and thought TSA missed 1 in 20 bombs. I thought, “that’s not very good”. Then I read the article. Holly *Bleep*!

[razorback-bert]

No worries, TSA found a little bottle of Pepto Bismol in my carry on (made it through 4 airports before) and it tested free of explosives.

[The Great RJ]

I’m not sure if most TSA screeners could find their own posterior with two hands and a flashlight.

[Blood of Tyrants]

It is actually a failure rate of 96%. That’s 24 out of 25.

I’ve read that they turn away applicants for being too intelligent figuring they will be too bored by the job.

I’ve read that they turn away applicants for being too intelligent figuring they will be too bored by the job. As if the stupid people they hire will not be bored by 8 hours of mindlessness. Thousands of Stupid A$$holes.

TSA: Totally Superfluous Asshats

[Blood of Tyrants]

Agents for El Al, the national airline for Israel, focus on looking for terrorists instead of worrying about nail files and screwdrivers and have a perfect record.

Yeah, I’m taking a trip Wednesday and just got all my little 3 oz bottles out so they don’t throw something I need out.
Idiots.
