Tsa level performance is available in any state run enterprise, like the Tarriff Department. What could possibly go wrong?

TSA MISSION CREEP

TSA says it needs more money.

So why is the Transportation Security Administration providing check-in security at political rallies?

What do political rallies have to do with transportation?

Just Google “tsa security at political rallies”

There are less than two-dozen airports currently using private screening. Most of these airports are very small. However, there are exceptions. San Francisco International Airport and Kansas City International Airport both have private firms handling a significant amount of passengers.

KC's airport (MCI) rarely has long waits in line for screening. I doubt I've ever stood in that line for more than 15-20 minutes, after dozens of flights.

Funny how not having all affirmative-action hires (who virtually cannot be fired) can make an enterprise more efficient.

With many innocent travelers milling around just inside the terminal, how long before a radicalized Islamic terrorist simply arrives curbside in his/her sedan a detonates it there, instead?

It will still serve to spook people from the flying experience, even if it not a jetliner itself that is hijacked or destroyed. These delays are indeed puzzling.
