Doesn't Chaffetz control the purse-strings now?

As I understand it, TSA has already indicated that they need more staffing to use the AITs with the frequency that TSA wants (gate-checks are mostly gone, and some AITs are roped-off for lack of staffing?), and that's going to require a lot more people, which means more money. The AIT funding was previously asked for and denied, then stimulus funding was used to purchase them. Yet there's no long-term staffing solution yet set up (stimulus funds used for capital expenses, not operating expenses).

All I want is no naked pictures, no radiation, and no touching without probable cause or reasonable suspicion (failed passive detection, such as WTMD/x-ray, etc). With random pat-downs, that right there fails that want. Right now, just showing up at an airport is quickly starting to appear to be probably cause for a physical administrative search.

Caffetz can (if so empowered) spend and allocate money any way he wants (staying within budget), yet lets keep this effort on the liberties, and not the dollars (yet not forgetting about the dollars!).
