This is what you get when you create a bureaucracy. Even if done for the best of reasons. In short order their prime directive mutates from “doing the people’s work”, to ensuring that the agency lasts into perpetuity. It’s why government employees are overwhelmingly Democrats; they buy into the notion that government is the solution to the problem. As Reagan noted, government IS the problem. That is what is ironic about TSA in the first place. The 9/11 hijackers successfully eluded detection from at least 3 government agencies and what was our solution? Create another agency! Only politicians and bureaucrats would find that logical.
