Often the "bad guys" are people with the nerve to ask TSA goons
how many terrorists they've caught after annoying/molesting
some 400 million travelers. Check out the Hitler lookalike at the end
pretending to be a "good guy."

Rep. Benny Thompson of Mississippi, the ranking Democrat on the committee, said he intended to question TSA Administrator John S. Pistole about the GAO report at a hearing on Thursday.

Anyone want to bet on whether Pistole actually shows up??

This country of ours is SERIOUSLY broken!!!

We have the federal government which the citizens deserve, and it shows with the TSA policies and practices.

If he doesn't show up, Pissant should be charged with Contempt of Congress.

That's incorrect.

The TSA has wasted far more than $1 billion. It just wasted $1 billion on SPOT.

Who would have thunk it, we're all qualified BDO's. No wonder my spidey sense starts going off when I see people wearing fake cop uniforms with fake cop badges. People up to no good.

There is no excuse for the TSA, and this proves it. They have done nothing private security couldn't have at a lesser cost.

Au contraire, they have done many things that no sane/legal security organization would ever do. The actors involved should face criminal charges.

So much for the "security" training of the TSA in this area -- not that the TSA could do anything with junk "security" training other than waste money on it too.

Some violations of constitutional/civil rights done by federal government officials are a criminal violation even if the violations are funded by Congress.

Some may say that dragnets leading to arrests and/or detentions where probable cause is lacking for the search/detention/arrest are a violation of at least one constitutional right.

Criminal fraud, for one. Anyone accepting a paycheck for "Behavioral Detection" knows full well that they're peddling voodoo horsepuckey.
