Very interesting read.

You can't professionalize unless you federal(contracor)ize, I guess.

They can just put them in the same pizza places they hired half the TSO's from? Free breadsticks with your Precheck application?

TSOs have gotten a bad rap.

The pizza box recruiting is for TSA HQ management staff, not for frontline TSOs rifling bags and bodies.

Don't worry, that funding isn't actually going to the TSA. It's getting thrown into general federal revenues where, no doubt, it will perform some other useful purpose.
