Extortion rackets are so very DHS.
TSA has more than enough screeners and screening checkpoints, but the problem is the TSA's processes/procedures. TSA policy/processes are more for show and shakedown than for delivering a material improvement in effectiveness of interdicting contraband WEIs at passenger screening checkpoints.
They've given us a show of force farce -- like the NYPD's blaring of sirens and flashing police car lights to supposedly scare terrorists -- that just wastes our time and money, all as they shake us down for more money.
