::::Like the CFPB, the TSA was created out of a crisis in the aftermath of 9/11, and a massive reorganization of the government, including creation of the $40 billion Dept. of Homeland Security [[Direct_spending#Permanent_spending|permanent spending]]. Odd thing is, it was created at a time [[privatization]] was accepted by both state and federal governments as necessary cause governments could not meet the commitments, nor carry the costs, of public sector union medical benefits and pensions. But the national Democratic party demanded the massive expansion of security guards at airports be federal jobs, not outsourced to the private sector, in exchange for votes to expand federal spending for the governments reorganization and the war on terror.
