Congress has oversight committees for the specific reason that there is some outside oversight. But the members of those committees also don't write home with the details of their briefings.
Very true, but the FBI does publish its rule book. An FBI Agent can't just decide to confiscate your floppy hat because they just made up a rule that floppy hats are illegal.
The Military publishes its training documents and only classifies things that actually REALLY need to be classified.
Yet, both of these agencies have successes that the TSA can only dream of.
