Wash. Times Calls TSA A “Rogue Agency”

In a March 24 editorial, The Washington Times called the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) a “rogue agency” and stated that federal lawmakers “need to do more” to hold the TSA “accountable.”

From the Times editorial:

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) hoped it could avoid a public revolt over its intrusive airport security measures by dialing back operations while scrutiny was at its peak over the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. That didn't stop more than a dozen federal lawsuits that have since been filed against the agency by airline pilots and a former governor, among others. State lawmakers also are looking for change.

[...]

That ought to be a no-brainer. Groping small children, grandmothers and former professional wrestlers does nothing to make this country more secure. Federal lawmakers need to do more to hold this rogue agency accountable.
