The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) was created as part of the Aviation and Transportation Security Act passed by the U.S. Congress and signed into law by President George W. Bush on November 19, 2001. TSA employs 50,000 people, including a classified amount of Air Marshalls, and as far as I know hasn't caught 1 terrorist yet.
The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is a Cabinet department of the United States federal government with the primary responsibilities of protecting the territory of the U.S. from terrorist attacks and responding to natural disasters. Yeah they respond to natural disasters like in hurricane Katrina where they blocked FEMA from entering New Orleans for 2 weeks. DHS employs over 200,000 people, and as far as I know hasn't caught 1 terrorist yet. In summary; neo-con thinking is that if you can't have a police state, why bother having taxation at all. Feel free to add to this list of Bush Jr.'s big government police state programs. I'm sure there's more. And I'm just as sure they haven't caught any terrorists yet either. The only people I've heard of catching terrorists are citizens.
