Maybe you don't
We are advocating for taking those duties away from the government.

Apparently the TSA is the enemy of the hour.

Move on. 9/11 changed everything. Are our memories that short?

No, I have lived through many September 11's

Maybe you are so young, the date has only one meaning for you.

That is not my interpretation of the message. I believe he specifically stated that TSA should not grow beyond airports but should do a better job at oversight and self-regulation - not necessarily synonomous with growth, could actually be interpreted as improve efficiency which could lead to downsizing.

I agree with you that government agencies tend to grow, not shrink, but again that is not what I believe this poster is saying.

LOL, all the usual suspect neo-progs voted pro-TSA. Guess they need mommy to check under the bed for monsters every night? LOL
