The Department of Homeland Security admitted in 2011 congressional testimony that “Of the ~7 Billion we have harassed, not one can be legitimately identified as a security risk. This proves that we are doing a good job and need more money to do even more of a good job better.”

"Treating every American---except ones that have strong lobbies or political influence---like a criminal has really helped build our empire."

"In terms of harassing passengers, we feel it's important to remind you all that the Constitution doesn't apply in airports."
There, fixed it.
There, I fixed it more.
