>> In little more than a year, the Transportation Security Administration has grown from 13 employees to 64,000, 42 percent more than Congress wanted.


This is truly grotesque......a new federal bureacracy with 64000 employees with guaranteed lifetime employment full benefits, pension etc via your tax dollars...gee I feel a lot safer now....

On Sunday I flew from Wichita Falls, Texas, to Dallas. There were 14 passengers on my flight. I counted 9 TSA employees "working" our flight. As usual, I had to take off my shoes and belt. Then they wanted to examine my watch (chronograph, actually) because of the various hands and dials, I assume. They were very courteous, but this stuff is getting ridiculous. Meanwhile, we can't cover our borders, but we can have a TSA employeee/passenger ratio of 64%?

For some time, in airports,these TSA folks have been known as:

Thousands Standing Around.

If you think that's bad, just wait for "Homeland Security" to get going.
