TSA spending $1,000 per employee on new uniforms!
(CNSNews.com) - The impending sequester did not prevent the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) from acting in late February to seal a $50-million deal to purchase new uniforms for its agents--uniforms that will be partly manufactured in Mexico. Soon after this new investment in TSA uniforms, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano warned Americans that the lines are already lengthening at airports due to the sequester.

If this was any other time or any other administration in the Whte House I wouldn't believe it. This is the kind of continuing insanity and rhetoric that we, unfortunately, should expect from our current government.
That makes no sense at all. If it HAD happened at any other time or administration, you'd have no choice but to believe it. Clearly not you, but the majority of Americans apparently wanted the current government. We the people chose it.
Those uniforms cost a $1000 each? Or is somebody playing budget subterfuge ?
What the American people don't understand is; sequester meant a reduction in the rate of GROWTH. They all still spent more money than last year. Don't let them fool you, there hasn't been REAL cuts in the federal budget in decades.
Most likely they spent $800 per employee last year, and they PLANNED on spending $1200 this year. So really they've saved $200 per employee! Yay! You see how that works?

Don't let those fancy uniforms impress you. The uniforms have nothing to do with the intellect of the TSA agents nor their qualifications to do the job. I heard a rumor that not even a GED is required to get the job? I wonder if that's true? They'll still be doing the secondary frisk and/or detailed searchs of old grey hair ladies, while allowing young Arab men to bypass the secondary searches. Also, burka covered women still don't get the full searches? That makes absolutely no sense?
This is just the kind of thing that should make peoples blood boil...typical
