  • What do these numbers mean?

    Source? Sauce? Sausage? Anything?

  • It is SARCASM ……….

  • Here are some REAL numbers …..
    At the end of their first year, TSA management threw a $750,000 party for themselves, complete with 4star accommodations and “awards” for all their “hard work”.
    They quickly learned to hide such extravagance.

    MEANWHILE-
    The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) spends hundreds of millions of dollars a year. At TSA headquarters alone, there are 3,526 staff whose average salary tops $106,000. And while the TSA has gotten very good at groping airline passengers and undressing them with full body scans, the organization has yet to prevent a single terrorist attack. A Government Accountability Office (GAO) investigation released last spring revealed that at least 17 known terrorists have been able to pass through TSA security totally unhindered.

    “GAO [also] found that TSA completely bungled the development and deployment of a behavior detection program for the nation’s airports,” says Congressman John L. Mica (R-FL), who helped write the Aviation and Transportation Security Act in the wake of 9/11.
