Congress: The TSA Is Wasting Hundreds of Millions In Taxpayer Dollars

Posted by samzenpus on Wednesday May 9, 2012 @09:20AM from the things-we-knew dept.

TheGift73 writes with a Techdirt story about a House Oversight Committee report that is very critical of the TSA's handling of money. "The House Oversight Committee has come out with a report slamming the TSA for tremendous amounts of waste, specifically in the 'deployment and storage' of its scanning equipment. Basically, it sounds like the TSA likes to go on giant spending sprees, buying up security equipment and then never, ever using it." Earlier this month Rand Paul laid out his plan for dealing with the TSA.

That was Rand Paul in that article you linked, by the way. They are not the same person.

The purpose of the body scanners was to make Michael Chertoff very rich.
And in that goal they have been a smashing success. And they still are.
