Well what else can be missing now? First it is missing hard drives, with TOP SECRET classified security information on them...then its more of the same from Los Alamos, Lawrence Labs and more...now its uniforms from the TSA...
Another indicator of just how hard our goverment works to keep our country safe and secure, to protect our people and our critical information....such high standards of performance help us sleep better at night.

This would be so easy to resolve. Just change the damned badges every two or three months.

No problem...time to change the design of the uniforms and badges...and bill the department [for the changes] that lost them in the first place.
Good ol'American ingenuity.

And on E-Bay, for $5.99 plus shipping and handling, one can purchase a lovely Air Marshal patch to wear on casual clothes when not dressed in a purloined TSA uniform and badge.

Where were these badges and uniforms kept?
In a broom closet?
Do they really have such a large force that they need 500 extra badges?
500 badges just dont walk away, has anyone checked ebay?

Well what else can be missing now? We'll never know. It's way too late to check Sandy Burglar's underwear. (Although that would have made a good episode on that Dirty Jobs television show.)

They need to hire some security professionals to guard their items. Oh, wait a minute, they ARE security professionals! Oh, never mind, problem solved!

Another indicator of just how hard our goverment works to keep our country safe and secure, to protect our people and our critical information....such high standards of performance help us sleep better at night. In your sarcasm, you got it right. The point of things like TSA is not to actually keep America safer, but to give a perception of safety to the citizens. That way, if anything bad happens, the folks in charge can shrug their shoulders and say "well, but we did everything we could..."
I'll give you a for instance: as recently as 10 years ago (and probably long before that), everyone knew that you could use liquid explosives to blow up an airplane. In fact, the US foiled a terrorist plot to blow up an airplane using explosives disguised as ordinary liquids. But there wasn't a need to ban liquids from airplanes because they weren't perceived as dangerous.
Fast forward to last year when the British arrest some folks with liquid bombs, and *suddenly,* liquids are no longer safe to carry on airplanes? Huh?
The level of risk hadn't changed--we all knew this was a possibility--but the perception had changed. This was all over the news, so the government had to do something to make it look like it was doing something, so it banned liquids. Completely asinine, but yet designed solely to ensure that there was an acceptable perceived level of safety.
Same thing with the TSA itself. There was a reason why the government contracted security out before 9/11--it was cheaper and more efficient. But after 9/11, the government has to make it look like it's doing something, so it takes over security and announces "See? We're cracking down on terrorism. Everything is fine. Nothing to see here. Carry on."

I've always thought that LAX was well named.
