What I'm thinking is that the OIG was reportedly in the process of testing TSA (again) and I would be willing to bet that TSA again failed miserably and we can see where the OIG inspectors were able to sneak more weapons through TSA's wonderful security theater. Or, some info leaked on how the OIG was going to test TSA and this is what the public gets, more abuse by the hands of TSA.
Two things
1. TSA is reactionary, so I would tend to support your assesment about war on Food & Paper.
2. In my experience it appears Airport screeners do not want to do things like pat downs, bag checks, deal with animals that alarm. The lack of interest is taken out on the traveler via the yelling and barking by the screener demanding that tic tacs and pocket lint removed from pockets
