TSA confirms controversial Amtrak passenger screening program underway
"The tests being done in conjunction with TSA are designed to evaluate how a system that has proven to be highly effective in providing safe travel in the airline industry will work most effectively in passenger rail operations."<p>Highly effective, indeed[1]. The US would probably be better off dropping the pretense and paying the 55,000 employees of the TSA to do nearly anything else instead. Even continuing to pay them their <i>entire salaries</i> while eliminating their jobs would save money in the form of increased airport efficiency.<p>[1]: <a href="https://www.vox.com/2016/5/17/11687014/tsa-against-airport-security" rel="nofollow">https://www.vox.com/2016/5/17/11687014/tsa-against-airport-s...</a>
