Shocking? Hardly. Remember the Military Industrial Complex a certain Republican President warned us about? The TSA is part of an offshoot of that: the Terrorism Division. So, in addition to building planes to fight wars we will probably no longer have (F-35), now we’re fighting a battle on the home front that the other side isn’t fighting, at the cost of hundreds of millions.
Government, when put in the wrong hands (war mongers, “fiscal” conservatives, etc.), does not function effectively or efficiently. We just saw in that the last two weeks.

That’s one of the worries the certain Republican had. It’s sociologicall and economically distorting.
