TSA Spends $1200 for Coffee

Auditors have called into question $303 million of the $741 million TSA spent to assess and hire airport screeners. The Post notes some of the more curious examples of misspent money:

* $526.95 for one phone call from the Hyatt Regency O'Hare in Chicago to Iowa City;
* $1,180 for 20 gallons of Starbucks Coffee at the Santa Clara Marriott in California;
* $1,540 to rent 14 extension cords at $5 each per day for three weeks at the Wyndham Peaks Resort and Golden Door Spa in Telluride, Colo; and
* $8,100 for elevator operators at the Marriott Marquis in Manhattan.
This seems more of an outrage than "crotch grabbing"
