TSA Security Program Is Slightly Better Than Chance

(11/13/2013) The tight and tedious security check in US airports trouble many travelers and airlines (if you think of how people try to avoid air travel). We sometimes justify this process as the necessary 'cost' of having a more secure society. US government spent $1B in a TSA SPOT (Screening of Passengers by Observation Techniques ) program for behavior screening. The GAO report shows that this money is not well spent because its results are “the same as or slightly better than chance.” Who is the COO (Chief Operating Officer) of US government? Run some benefit/cost analysis on your programs and eliminate those ineffective expenditure. Don't say the benefit of this spending is "creating jobs!" There are some others GAO should check next: Medicare/Medicaid abuse.
