a decade after the TSA was created following the September 11 attacks, the author of the legislation that established the massive agency grades its performance at ?D-.?
?The whole program has been hijacked by bureaucrats,? said Rep. John Mica (R. -Fla.), chairman of the House Transportation Committee.
?It mushroomed into an army,? Mica said. ?It?s gone from a couple-billion-dollar enterprise to close to $9 billion.?
As for keeping the American public safe, Mica says, ?They?ve failed to actually detect any threat in 10 years.?
?Everything they have done has been reactive. They take shoes off because of [shoe-bomber] Richard Reid, passengers are patted down because of the diaper bomber, and you can?t pack liquids because the British uncovered a plot using liquids,? Mica said.
?It?s an agency that is always one step out of step,? Mica said.
It cost $1 billion just to train workers, which now number more than 62,000, and ?they actually trained more workers than they have on the job,? Mica said.
?The whole thing is a complete fiasco,? Mica said.
In a wide-ranging interview with HUMAN EVENTS just days before the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, Mica said screeners should be privatized and the agency dismantled?
Asked whether the agency should be privatized, Mica answered with a qualified yes.
?They need to get out of the screening business and back into security. Most of the screening they do should be abandoned,? Mica said. ?I just don?t have a lot of faith at this point,? Mica said?
?We are one of the only countries still using this model of security,? Mica said, ?other than Bulgaria, Romania, Poland, and I think, Libya.?
HELL YES
