Got to LGA at 04:15 this morning in time to watch the shoe sniffers warm up the machines and get ready for another day of "protecting" us. Having nothing else to do, I started counting TSA employees. (Notice I did not say "workers"). And it soon became apparent that making the world safe for Democracy is a very labor intensive job. Frankly it looked like a state highway road repair crew. 20 or so people standing around.

So, here we are, well into the 21st Century and the typical government solution to a given problem is still to throw headcount at it. Never mind technology. Never mind that we should be able to simply walk through a device, rather than be physically checked - some would say assaulted. Oh well....typical.
