If you actually read the article it says those people are related to someone who may be on the watch list, not that they themselves are on it.
Yes, cause that makes it so much better....

This is only because the agency tasked with protecting us from terrorists does not have access to the list of terrorists. The solution is obviously to privatize the TSA ... Ummm, like it was .....before 911 when we could not trust it....cause it wasn't ....a. Government...agency.............did I miss a turn? Seems like I have been here before.....
Actually the article doesn't say the TSA hired these folks; rather it says that other aviation agencies (airlines?) and vendors hired them after the TSA didn't catch the fact they were on the terror watch list.
I'm not defending the TSA in any way and believe they should be abolished, but at least call out their incompetency correctly.
