Highlights:

"The ability of TSA screeners to stop prohibited items from being carried through the sterile areas of the airports fared no better than the performance of screeners prior to September 11, 2001." Richard Skinner, Former DHS Inspector General, January 26, 2005

"Since 2001, TSA staff has grown from 16,500 to over 65,000, a near-400% increase. In the same amount of time, total passenger enplanements in the U.S. have increased less than 12%."

"Since 2002, TSA procured six contracts to hire and train more than 137,000 staff, for a total of more than $2.4 billion, at a rate of more than $17,500 per hire. More employees have left TSA than are currently employed at the agency."

"Over the past ten years, TSA has spent nearly $57 billion to secure the U.S. transportation network, and TSA‘s classified performance results do not reflect a good return on this taxpayer investment."

"TSA‘s passenger and checked baggage screening programs have been tested over the years, and while the test results are classified, their performance outcomes have changed very little since the creation of TSA."

Cost of a Chertoff (untested, uncalibrated) XRay Machine is $150,000 each

Cost of a bomb sniffing dog $8,500 each

(Update 11.29.2010 - Person pointed out today to me that yes, these costs might be accurate, but how long can a single dog work a shift? Are the true annual costs of maintaining a dog crew included here or considered? Very worth questions, worth getting answers to. Meanwhile, if this video is accurate, and the FBI are using dogs for their building entrances and NOT Chertoff's scanners, then something is rotten here... )

Watch this video to find out who is using bomb sniffing dogs and why... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMlDVLlAEUU


Homeland Security is a joke. Well, actually, they are criminals...who are violating our natural born rights every day... and WE are the joke for swallowing it.

When the xmas bomber happened last year, our own state department gave him clearance to be boarded on that plane, despite the fact that his father had called the state department to warn them about his son... rather than use this narrowly averted disaster as an excuse to usher in this new era of a police state, Janet Nap should have been FIRED and heads should have rolled.
Naaah... they now use it as THE excuse to either molest us or radiate us.
