TSA and lines at the airport...

Congressman McCaul was on NPR this morning discussing this issue, which I understand has really gotten out of control recently.  My personal experience is that on the last outbound flight I had, I got a pre-check pass and didn't have to go through the long lines.  Then on the return, I was selected for a body scan in the machine.  WTF? Does this make any sense, or are they just playing some kind of sick game?

McCaul R-Texas said there was a bipartisan bill at the Senate that they refuse to act on for some unknown reason.  The House passed with with a big bi-partisan vote, but the Senate refuses to do anything on it.  We can only presume that since the President has said he supports the bill and will sign it that McConnell and the other hateful Senators will not act on it because the President favors it.

President Bush's Homeland Security has been the worst government program in my lifetime.  It is enormously expensive and accomplishes virtually zero of what it was promised us it would do. Here is my communication on the matter this morning.

However, Alexander and Corker will also get a copy asking them if the love America more than they hate the black man in the White House.

RE: TSA

Dear Sir:

There are some obvious glaring issues with the check in procedures.

I have
• A US Coast Guard Masters License,
• A Coast Guard“BR” number (which I understand is difficult to get)
• A Transportation Workers Identification Card (Issued by the TSA, for God’s sake).

ALL OF THESE DOCUMENTS ARE ISSUED BY HOMELAND SECURITY!

Yet when I get to the check in line at an airport, they don’t know a thing about the multiple background checks I have been subjected too, let alone the random drug testing program I’m enrolled in, my US Pilot’s licensed in 1970, or Tennessee CPA license from 1973.

We were told President Bush’s Homeland Security Department would co-ordinated efforts from one department to another. What a joke! The TSA can’t even co-ordinate within itself, let alone other departments within Homeland Security. Heaven forbid it tries to do something with an agency outside its own department.

Homeland Security is a massively expansive failure.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

Bad Bob from Tennessee
