The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) may soon occupy a place in the pantheon of government agencies who have demonstrated unequivocally that they cannot shoot, act or think straight, let alone carry out more than a semblance of the responsibilities for which America's august legislators have tasked them.

They report:"TSA Administrator Kip Hawley sent a letter to employees Friday apologizing for the lost data and promising to pay for one year of credit monitoring services."The TSA fumble follows in the footsteps of several other agencies who have misplaced personal data for literally millions of individuals.TSA is responsible for overseeing the security of passengers at the nation's airports. An incident in January at Washington State's Sea -Tac International perhaps speaks to the quality of service which one can expect.
