Truth involves Obama, 'nude pictures of passengers' and fed-up workers.
Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson warns air travelers to prepare for much longer than usual airport security lines, but a Transportation Security Administration watchdog says this mess is simply a matter of the government failing to manage its resources responsibly.
On Monday, Johnson stood at Ronald Reagan National Airport just outside Washington and told passengers to expect longer than expected wait times as the Transportation Security Administration, or TSA, expedites hundreds of new personnel into service to speed up the security process. In Chicago, passengers were told to arrive three hours prior to departure.

TSA’s penchant for directing its ever-increasing budget into the wrong areas.
“TSA has spent many billions of dollars on things that don’t work,” Edwards said. “As a result, they’ve starved their budget from hiring more screeners to reduce congestion.”

things work much more smoothly north of the border.
“In Canada, all major airports have private screening,” Edwards explained. “There’s a number of different expert companies that specialize in airport screening. They get three-year contracts to do particular airports. If they don’t do a good job, if they don’t have high security, they get fired. The next time around, a different company gets the contract.”
While U.S. airports do have the ability to ditch the TSA and hire private security, Edwards said the Obama administration is making it much tougher to do that.
“Congress has had to slap down the administration a few times to get it to allow airports to go private,” he said. “In the original legislation that created TSA, House Republicans slipped in this provision that airports could petition the Department of Transportation to go private, but the Obama administration has made that very difficult.”

9/11 comes to mind.
Islam terrorists accomplishing it’s goal of making our lives miserable, with the help of the U.S. government.
Keep it Federal and increase your reach. Don’t let private enterprise get involved. That is not a route to power.
Remind TSA union to ask the Air Traffic Controller’s how it worked out for them.

Bingo! Hello President Trump.

why have an efficient private company do it when there is so much union money and political power at stake?
Yes,I know.

It takes a Ronaldus Magnus to deal with that.
They don’t even have the equivalent of his dirty shorts in charge now.
Johnson has been incompetent from the get-go
So this is some sort of strike without calling it a strike?
That Johnson is the head of DHS, IS a national security threat.
All of these slow downs, I just have to say Allah Be Praised. Mohammeds Army really does have us bowing and taking off our shoes to his image. I don;t know how Allah did this, but I must believe there is more to come. Allah be praised, and thank C.A.I.R as well, they are remaking the appearance of America. More power to the bomb squads of the Islamic Jihadists. (sarc)
I’d be concerned about security while waiting in those long lines to get through security, myself.
Not one peep out of the media about all the promises of glory days ahead when the gubermint federalized screeners after 9/11.
Should be hours of videotape of mainly Dems but also some Pubbies promoting the takeover. Let’s see some of that tape, dammit!
What did we expect when they were allowed to unionize even though it went against the statute. Thank you G.W.
Any company private or govt can screw things up.
Its just some have a more predictable track record of screwing things up. Like fedgov doing anything.
