I have never stayed at the Marriott Marquis. Do they really charge for elevator operators? Does going up cost the same as going down?

How much does a ride cost? (Presumably more if the elevator operator goes down during it.)
I think it's more like $8,100 stolen by TSA managers and written up in the expense report as a cost. I am sure the other listed expenses are nothing more than inflated cost that is represented by stolen money. I hope the GAO plans to ask for receipts. These guys need to go to jail.

However, I'm sure there will be plenty in the general public and Congress who will sing "but we are safer" to continue to justify this outrageous agency. Where is Ronald Reagan when you really need him? He would have never tolerated this fiasco.
