The GAO routinely finds waste in programs, but it usually just proposes ways to fix them -- so the Screening of Passengers by Observation Techniques program must be really lame. The GAO finds no “scientifically validated evidence” for the $200 million program, and it says that TSA deployed it before even doing a cost-benefit analysis.

That will just mean TSA checkpoints on a highway/interstate near you faster than they planned on doing it or maybe this was the plan all along.  They won't abolish shit; you'll just have to deal with them now every freaking time you take a road trip.

The pay for TSA is only a few dollars more than what McDs or Walmart workers make.  Which explains the high rate of theft that is reported.
