From the article: The TSA employs 50,000 security officers, inspectors, air marshals and managers. That means that the uniform contract will pay the equivalent of $1,000 per TSA employee over the course of the year.

Bulletproof underwear is more expensive than you might think....

I saw that.....$50 Mil/less than 50K employees =====>$1,000 uniform cost per employee!

How can it cost so much??? Here's what's provided:

“initial uniform issue consisting of 3 long sleeve shirts, 3 short sleeve shirts, 2 pairs of trousers, 2 ties, and one belt, sweater, socks, and jacket.” ..... "TSA may authorize an annual uniform allowance for officers to assist with uniform replacement expenses but officers will be responsible for cleaning, maintaining, and replacing worn uniforms."

That's a lot of money for such a large order.

They also now own 450 million bullets or approx. 7,000 for each of its 65,000 armed-security officers.

I should remind everyone the “H” stands for Homeland, so for whatever reason, they are preparing for major combat on US soil.
