More on the Rapidly-Expanding TSA

From the New York Post...

In a politically correct attempt at perfect egalitarianism, we've created a bureaucratic monster. And, like all bureaucracies, it really has only one imperative -- not defending the homeland, but protecting itself and expanding its reach, in order to justify its $56,000,000,000 budget.

It doesn't matter whether the administration is Republican or Democratic. It doesn't matter who's president. Poorly conceived and hastily created in the aftermath of 9/11, the leviathan DHS -- with more than 200,000 employees, it's the third-largest Cabinet department -- is a conceptual and practical disgrace to the American tradition of ordered liberty.
