my company laid off a bunch of employees, which was supposed to save 2.5 million over two year. three months later, all the executive restrooms were equipped with Toto automatic toilets. 47 units of Toto's top of the line model that will make any Japanese executive red with envy(exact quote from the contractor who was installing them). Tell me what's wrong with that?
OT, but I can beat that. Company negotiates wage reduction in union contract. The day contract is signed, owners reward management with new leased BMW's delivered to the company parking lot. One year later, out of business.
As to the TSA, certain security and border control functions are exempt from the sequester. This may include parts of the TSA, FAM's for instance.
