The we have the problem of the highly trained TSA workforce having to learn how to push a button. I'm sure teaching that is a significant issue.

I would like to see congress totally disband the TSA and replace it with a fresh organization. Fresh name, fresh mission statement, fresh leadership and fresh employees. The new organization should be 1/4 the size of the TSA, or even smaller. It's job should be limited to exercising administrative oversight of Transportation Security.

Does Congress have any power whatsoever over the TSA? If so, why haven't they exercised this power?

Beyond using a few harsh words, Congress has done nothing to the TSA. Are the harsh words simply a show to fool their constituents into thinking they care, or are the congressmen/women truly powerless?

What's going on? Why no action? I don't get it.
