Title: Congressman Says TSA Is A Failure, Should Be Dismantled
Post by: Hugo Chavez on September 14, 2011, 01:54:07 AM

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) -- A decade after he created the Transportation Safety Administration, Rep. John Mica (R) Florida says the agency it too large and too reactive.

Congressman Mica believes the agents should work for a private security firm and the government TSA should provide intelligence only.

"Government has failed," said Rep. Mica, "During 9-11 it wasn't private screening that failed; it was the government who failed to put protocols in place."

TSA started in 2001 as a $2 billion agency employing 16,500 people.  Now the agency costs $9 billion with 63,000 employees. :o

"When you have an army...you will have problems with personnel," said the congressman referring to the arrests of some agents accused of stealing $40,000 from a checked luggage.

MICA is full of shit.   This is like handing the keys to a drunk driver and acting shocked and surprised when the guy smashes the car and kills a few people.
