TSA Screening Barely Working Better Than Chance

[randomname]

"The General Accounting Office (GAO) has completed a study of the TSAs SPOT (Screening of Passengers by Observation Techniques) program and found the program is only slightly better than chance at finding criminals. Given that the TSA has spent almost a billion dollars on the program, that's a pretty poor record. As a result, the GAO is requesting that both Congress and the president withhold funding from the program until the TSA can demonstrate its effectiveness."

Given the job qualifications, it should be no surprise that the TSA is just another welfare program for unskilled labor and the companies of its chairmen (remember the consulting company the ex head of the department was involved in personally that got all the Rapescan contracts?)

Same thing, new day, new terrists. Getem. And open your wallets.
