Surprise: TSA Hasn't Improved Since Failing 95 Percent of Security Tests
Townhall ^ | Nov 04, 2015 | Katie Pavlich

Earlier this year, TSA failed undercover security tests at airports across the country at a rate of 95 percent. As a reminder:

An internal investigation of the Transportation Security Administration revealed security failures at dozens of the nation's busiest airports, where undercover investigators were able to smuggle mock explosives or banned weapons through checkpoints in 95 percent of trials, ABC News has learned.

The TSA is a useless government bureaucracy that confiscates personal items, steals computers and touches passengers inappropriately.

The TSA is incapable of stopping real terrorists and fails 95% of the time in undercover simulations.

But don't worry. They will still be spending our tax dollars and making airport travel more difficult.

The most important aspect of getting a job done is to define the job. You then create processes and test them to see if they work. You then refine them until they are as perfect as possible.

But if you aren’t allowed to concentrate your assets on the most probable suspects, your efficiency suffers. TSA’s most important job, to them, is political correctness, which rules out stopping terrorists. Instead they concentrate on proving that they are not Islmophobics.

Their job is to take our tax money and vote for Obama.

The only way they could improve is to all resign immediately and leave the country. What a bunch of useless government “workers”.

Ok, Ok. Maybe they do fail 95% of these effectiveness tests.

So they are job-protected, union card carrying bureaucrats "working" for the federal government and doing useless jobs? The important thing is, they are still employed and drawing fat paychecks, getting terrific benefits, and likely voting for Democrats!

Let's get our priorities in order, people!!

Government agencies consume taxes and irritate citizens. They answer to no standards of performance.

Federal government institutions reward their own failure and punish any who achieves success.

It's bizarre.

Government workers are the brass ring class form of welfare recipients.
