Just confirmed by one of their own. They saw their authority as absolute. I believe that is the textbook definition of a "dictatorship."

Remark from Senator Lindsey Graham about the way the Bush administration (the one who created TSA/DHS, wrote their rules, and staffed it with political operative flunkies like Mikey and Kippy) viewed the rule of law. During a hearing, Graham said that the Bush administration did not commit any crimes, but that they "saw the law as a nicety we could not afford."
