Another "TSA Documentary"
Last night's installment was on WUSA in DC. Same old stuff -- criminals hired, clearance paperwork lost, plus some Clinton-esque spin doctoring by our old friend, "TSA Spokesman Robert Johnson." This one also features a performance by the shadowy & voice-doctored TSA informant. Enjoy, I guess...
Story is the third one down, at least it was when I posted this...

Yep, same old stuff. My background check was just completed two weeks ago. TSA hired NCS Pearson to do them, they didn't. Why no call for an investigation of NCS Pearson after they were payed 600 million to do a job they all but refused to do? Now Accenture (Arthur Anderson) has the contract to fix the mess. I guess the screeners are to blame for that too.

"Now Accenture (Arthur Anderson)"
Just for reference (and entertainment value), Accenture is the new name for Andersen Consulting, not Arthur Andersen. They operated as two very different divisions under the Andersen umbrella. There was a nasty split between the two and Andersen Consulting had to give up the Andersen name as part of the arbitration settlement.
