How Government “Thinks”
Becky Akers
-
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has … become one of
the most unpopular agencies in the federal government.
- Even lawmakers who helped create the agency have become some of TSA’s toughest critics…
- Yet as Congress continues to bash the beleaguered agency and haul in officials to grill them in hearings, … appropriators have proposed giving the agency a funding bump in the latest spending bills, and most see TSA’s role in securing the nation as getting bigger, not smaller.
- “Given the heightened sense of security that we have, I can only see TSA’s role increasing,” Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), ranking member on the Homeland Security Committee, [said.]
- Even lawmakers who helped create the agency have become some of TSA’s toughest critics…
-
an explosive report last summer … found TSA screeners were failing to
detect fake bombs and weapons in nearly 96 percent of security
tests.

…
[C]ompletely getting rid of the TSA is a highly unlikely scenario –
no matter how unpopular the agency is.
