TSA attempts to hide unused machines
A recent investigation issued jointly by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform and House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure reports that TSA bought $184 million in screening equipment that it stored in warehouses and tried to prevent Congress from learning how many machines were there.

Well throwing them away would prove even the TSA thinks they are worthless...... wait hiding them does the same thing.
COME ON PEOPLE!!! This absolutely nothing new. EVERY government agency including our military does stuff like this to get "discounts" and "keep the funding".
This is an agency that should be upholding the law, and here they are trying to hide stuff from their boss, Congress. Dishonesty, what a bad trait to have in a law enforcement agency.
Haven't Roger Clements and a few others been charged with Perjury or Contempt of Congress for lying to them. Why not these birds??????
The delays due to TSA are increasing every week. It is not due to the lack of TSA employees but a result of minimizing the active screening points despite the number of flyers. It took me 55 minutes for screening at DFW (I am a 100K flyer/Executive Platinum). I listened to many flyers complain they were missing their connections. TSA PreScreen only works if you are a domestic flyer with no international segments. I fly 90% international. I thought TSA was bad but I see they can achieve even worst performance. One agent told me watch what happens later this summer. Abolish the TSA, fire "Big Sis", and return to private agencies for security. Perhaps the government can save a few $100 million dollars.
Another sad fact is that although we all know that this is what is normal for the TSA, is probably not any different for other government agencies, Now that we know about this how many of us will WRITE TO OUR LEGISLATORS AND DEMAND AN ANSWER as to why they let this happen. If enough of will write to them they may actually seek a solution. I am writing my legislators today! Please join in and do the same.
