TSA

Again Jon Stewart points out things the real news missed

Obama still hasn't filled the office of director of TSA.

Bush's TSA is a department of idiots. The best thing Obama could do is
restructure it, replace every bit of management, and retrain the entire
staff. Leaving SF for Chicago and then DC a couple of weeks ago, I ran
into a TSA'er who spent five minutes shining a blue flashlight onto my
state driver's license. She was looking in the wrong place for the
"invisible" part. So I said, "Want to examine one of my concealed carry
permits?" They all have my photo on them, too. I thought she was going
to loogy her pants.

It was the Democrats who demanded that we fire the private security
people and make them "fireproof" government dweebs.

You're in favor of Blackwater running the TSA?? I don't think so...

Blackwater is the group protecting Hillary right now so somebody likes
them.
There was still no reason why the actual screeners could not be
contracted and working under TSA guidance. The way it is, we own those
people forever, even if they came up with a lot less labor intensive
way to screen passengers. If anything, having 45,000 minimally
skilled employees, you can't fire, will stifle innovation. "Thinking"
was never a job requirement for this job.

Are you under the delusion that federal employees are immune from layoffs?

They aren't.
