Is the TSA the most monstrously incompetent agency in history?In one word: Yes.
Sadly, the evidence continues to pile up that Americans will continue to meekly accept this horrible abuse of their rights as citizens of a once-free nation.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon or from any other book seller. If you want an autographed copy the price is $60 for the hardback and $45 for the paperback, plus $8 shipping for each. Go here for purchasing details. The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

No. It’s just a symptom of the limitation of central government.
Kind of hard to just pick one. I’d go with the Veterans Administration.
Maybe, but at least the VA helps and treats most of its patients. The TSA has yet to stop a single — actual — terrorist, and has let a couple through. They have, however, stopped a few people who merely forgot that they had their usual assortment of equipment, such as handguns, nail clippers, too-large bottles of milk for their babies, or (as in my case) their Swiss Army knifes.
Have you ever been escorted back out of the security zone in order to mail your utility knife back to yourself (at least I have a good story to tell: the time I was thrown out of an airport. “I’ve been thrown out of better airports than this!”)? That airport, at least, had such a service at a self-serve kiosk. At least the TSA agent was nice and friendly about it; I wasn’t the first person she had to escort out, and I’m sure I wasn’t her last — that day.
Welcome to America, land of the formerly free.
