The Transportation Security Administration is set to purchase 3.5 million .357 SIG caliber bullets, enough for its agents to fire 9,400 rounds a day, every day of the year.

According to a solicitation issued by the agency on August 16, the TSA is looking to buy “3,454,000 rounds of .347 SIG Caliber Training Ammunition”.
Although TSA agents in airports are currently unarmed, last month the TSA announced its plan to hire the use of a firing range within a 20 mile radius of LaGuardia Airport in order to train TSA workers.
The federal agency’s huge bullet buy could signal an expansion of its controversial Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response (VIPR) program, where teams of armed TSA officers patrol railroad stations, bus stations, ferries, car tunnels, ports, subways, truck weigh stations, rest areas, and special events.
VIPR teams currently conduct around 8,000 operations a year. As well as providing security at transport hubs, VIPR teams are now being used to keep tabs on fans at sporting events.24x
Has the TSA ever fired a gun at anyone? Shouldn’t they have enough ammo for practice?
TSA need to be defunded!!!
The government has a huge surplus of tax money and unless they spend it they’ll be forced to reduce taxes for next year….
DHS ammo purchases started to get too “noticeable” and began being publicized in the lamestreme media. So its a shell game.
Wow…you ppl post the same stories over and over….yawn.
