So, there are two instances of TSA's "partnership with agencies across the Department of Homeland Security." The first one was to TSA dude noticed some guy loitering around the airport looking suspicious. They removed him from the airport. Umm, McDonald's employees can do that themselves. They don't need to cooperate with the FBI or whoever to do that.

The second one was the TSA noticed suspicious behavior by a person who was leaving the country who was not suppose to be in the country anymore. So they detain him in the country forcing him to be in the country longer. The specially trained at detecting fake ID's TSA guy wasn't even the one that detected the fake ID. The FBI was.

Is this an article from The Onion?


Edit: The TSA should really stick to what it's there for. Imagine the coast guard launching the space shuttle. There are reasons why there specialized departments. But most departments actually have something to do, TSA must be board out of their minds...
