Conde Nast Traveler, of all places, has a big investigative piece on 10 years of the TSA (which Wonkette has funny things to say about, and thanks for the graphic, guys).  As much as I appreciate the parts about the TSA hassling grannies,  wasting money, and hiding its own mistakes, I find the “and we’re STILL  NOT SAFE” stuff a little troubling. There were holes in the fence at JFK  after a hurricane that weren’t immediately fixed? That kind of makes  sense, actually, and doesn’t worry me. Also, I didn’t finish it, so maybe  they buy that stuff back at the end.
