[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1922663, member: 229"] I don't personally think the government should be there in the first place, but when you look at how TSA has expanded vs the budget cuts, then tell me how paying less ever ends up in higher quality people/service/products? They could obviously be spending their money more efficiently (perhaps that's the biggest part of the problem is their fraud/waste/abuse isn't being put in check), but the bottom-line is that if you truly wanted a TSA that worked properly, you have to hire people at proper wages, train them properly, and equip them properly. If they have enough money for that and aren't spending it correctly, then the government is still at fault (be it "the government" mothership, or TSA's leadership within that particular government agency). They've cut the salaries down to near-minimum-wage for employees - I don't know about you, but when looking for work and having "Cook at Sonic Drive-in" or "TSA Agent" in the same ball-park for wages, you're probably not going to get the highest quality folks out there.
