I have to completely agree with you. DHS was a huge scam foisted upon us post 9/11 by using everybody's emotions against them. For all of the money, the annoyance, etc, they have noting to show for themselves.DevilDawg wrote:All of DHS needs to be defunded and abolished. The Fed is not capable of running anything efficiently. This entire department is nothing but yet another way to funnel money into pet projects
Private security companies who have to compete and are regularly audited are a far superior option. PSC's are not just a better solution but they are proven overseas in Iraq and A-Stan.
Before 9/11 we used to be able to carry pocket knives on the plane and private security managed to efficiently screen people. Now we can't even bring bottled water through, and yet they still can't even manage to catch people smuggling guns. The whole thing is just a sham, as once you're past security you can buy all of the water, nail clippers, etc that you want. TSA has no incentives to improve. By purposely slowing things down, they can just ask for more of our hard earned money to "make it more efficient".
