It's the small success stories of hardworking, high performing Americans who actually do their jobs well that are overlooked and/or ignored. Thanks for dropping by...

Now all those minimum-wage security guards were magically turned into federal agents with a wave of the government wand. But they're still the same low-bidders that did the job before there was any such thing as the TSA. Perhaps we should federalize Wal-Mart greeters under a newly-formed Federal Courtesy Administration, and charge them with enforcing federal laws relating to courtesy and politeness. And of course, making sure that shoppers check out with healthy groceries, not exceeding the federal maximum limits on sugary snacks and transfats.

Yes, and they're easily manipulated, too. "Why is the TSA always one step behind?" Because they're a reactionary troupe playing 'Security Theatre' for your entertainment. Screening now at an airport near you... “Are people stupid?” Yes, and they’re easily manipulated, too.

Ironically the TSA will succeed in make the skies totally safe, by eliminating flying.
