When I returned from Iraq two years ago, wearing my uniform as was the rest of our advisor team, the Baltimore TSA shut down the security area as I had left an EMPTY 9mm magazine in my carry-on. After months in the desert training the Iraqi Army, going on countless operations, and getting decorated by General Petraeus before leaving Baghdad, I get frisked and have my magazine confiscated. Those idiots even took a picture of my military ID. One of them had the temerity to tell me that they were doing it for our safety. I growled that I was very much familiar with the war on terror having just returned from Baghdad.
TSA: Thousands Standing Around or Terrifically Stupid and Annoying. Yet another success story of this administration.

Government paralysis isn't all bad. If they really went to work they would paralyze everyone!
I'm sorry, I have a problem with this. Just like all TSA stories, it appears they are once again going after the least likely terrorists, and with a vengeance. Going after the military the way this article states is even worse.
IIRC, it wasn't Bush that wanted TSA. It was Dems.
