An internal investigation of the Transportation Security Administration revealed security failures at dozens of the nation’s busiest airports, where undercover investigators were able to smuggle mock explosives or banned weapons through checkpoints in 95 percent of trials, ABC News has learned.

Im totally shocked.... TSA agents catch every water bottle and shampoo container over the size limit! I guess they are ass hats afterall!
And the surprise is where?
Confirms what we already knew. Nothing but a vote buying jobs program at this point. That goes for the entire DHS.
"the entire DHS"... So, you're in favor of eliminating DHS?
Let's see, in addition to TSA that would also include Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and Customs and Border Protection (CBP), essentially leaving our borders wide open and unprotected.

Yes, just as they are now. Then, give the National Guard their job back.
Those services were all in place before DHS.
Yes, but now they're under DHS.
And that was clearly a change for the worse. It added another layer of incompetence.
Exactly. So why another layer?
It was a consolidation of many different existing bureaus and agencies, combined with newly created ones, under a single, cabinet level department. This actually did some good for the agencies involved. But to say that just because one agency is not performing its function well the entire department should be eliminated is ridiculous. It would be akin to Airbus eliminating its fixed wing division because of the A400M crash.
We all know what DHS is and how it came about. The point is, what has it fixed?
Fine then, do away with DHS. But before you do, ask yourself how you're going to cover the boarders, deal with immigration (both legal and illegal), protect Americans from the importation of illegal and harmful products, collect taxes and tariffs on imported goods, ensure maritime safety and security, AND do security screening at airports and other transportation facilities, because all of those functions are part of DHS.
The facts do not back up that the new level of bureaucracy has been worth its troubles. Streamlining our government by reducing overlapping agencies and responsibilities would save billions and reduce the government's ability to play its' pass the blame game. This latest failure of the TSA is not "akin" to a single accident. The TSA and DHS has been a government works project and inept from its inception. Any corporation held accountable by its shareholders could handle airport security at a fraction of the cost us taxpayers are paying.
