TSA Fails to ID 73 Airport Employees With Links to Terrorism - NBC News
Oh wow. If this is not a wake up call regarding unnecessary bureaucracy, and inefficient practices in our government in general, I don't know what is, and dread what it will take to wake people up to the fact that out govt has become so large and cumbersome, enough that it is stepping on its own feet in a way that does affect us, and our own safety.
Of course, I'd rather the airlines be in charge of their own security, like before, with the FAA having a list of dangerous items, where ultimately economics guided the most important parts, and not government, but that's another story.
article said:A new Department of Homeland Security Inspector General report found that the Transportation Security Administration failed to identify 73 aviation employees with active clearance badges with links to terrorism.
The people, who were employed by major airlines, airport vendors and other employers, were not identified because TSA is not authorized to receive all terrorism-related information under current inter-agency policies, the report said.
