Rep. John Mica Calls TSA His 'Little ....... Child'
WOW! What a statement from John Mica.
"The bad news is I created them after 9/11, the good news is I am now chairman and I will get them."

More substantively, Mica said classified briefings he has been given show the failure rate of the body imagers to find potentially-dangerous objects going through airport security is totally unacceptable.
Buh, buh, but I thought the TSA apologists claimed that the new procedures would improve the dismal Red Team test failures?

I do like this little snippet
And from the very next paragraph we have a classic example of TSAA Kool-Aid flavored male bovine excrement to keep the kettles 'n sheeple happy
He <Mica> also said he won't go through a full body scanner at an airport because "I don't want them circulating pictures of my beautiful body" all over. He said he opts for a pat-down, and just "closes his eyes and imagines a beautiful female."
More substantively, Mica said classified briefings he has been given show the failure rate of the body imagers to find potentially-dangerous objects going through airport security is totally unacceptable.

TSA Spokeswoman Kristin Lee told ABC News, "We see every day that it is very effective. While there is no silver bullet, we feel like it's the best technology to detect the kind of threat we saw on Christmas Day. It is part of a layered security approach."

Anyone else read that and think she was talking about Mica? Maybe she meant it as a veiled threat as well. Could she be that clever?
No.

Mica and 534 other Members need to go after these prison-style friskings/sexual assaults with the same aggression that they are going after the Cancer Machines.

And based on the quote goalie brought up:
TSA Spokeswoman Kristin Lee told ABC News, "We see every day that it is very effective. While there is no silver bullet, we feel like it's the best technology to detect the kind of threat we saw on Christmas Day. It is part of a layered security approach."
Reminds me a lot of Chertoff's "gut feelings" too. I have a gut feeling TSA's taking the American people for a ride.
Now if Mica would only be a good father and take them out behind the woodshed and smack the living sh!t out of them ...
