And
who knew Jefferson would correctly predict DHS and the TSA and screeners helping themselves to confiscated jelly donuts:
(the Government) "has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance."
At least now we know why they insist screeners be called "Officers". ^
