Mind-boggling. Can anyone just scream mission creep?
It isn't just TSA. The "legacy" DHS agencies as infected with the same paranoia. Last week I was having breakfast with a senior ICE official. We got to talking about transition matters, and he expressed concern that there would be a terrorist attack between November and January.

If we aren't careful, we are going to wake up and find that we have given away our civil liberties.
