The White House is proposing to cut more than 9,400 workers and just over $1.5 billion from the 60,000-employee Transportation Security Administration that handles airport security operations, according to budget ‌documents.

The details were part of a budget document for the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees TSA, that is part of the White House budget proposal for the next fiscal year.

The thing is though, a poorly executing IRS is good for tax companies, and one could argue most businesses in general. A poorly executing tsa however is disastrous for airlines and one could argue also for businesses in general.

Nonetheless, tsa never should have existed in the first place. Eurozone does it through contractors and it works well.
