"The cost-conscious Congress has squeezed the TSA budget in recent years...."

Cost-conscious Congress?! What a hoot! Who was the written by, Paul Ryan?

You mean the Congress that took our ever-increasing airline passenger fees and diverted them for their own pet pork? That Congress?

The Congress that is SHOCKED! SHOCKED! that reduced TSA funding would create long lines at the airports? That Congress?

The Congress that now has appointed the tight-fisted Lisa Murkowski and the pork-averse Don Young to grease the skids for yet another budget-busting defense authorization bill, with mega-goodies for Alaska, including interceptor missiles and F-35s that don't work? That Congress?

Please. 

Spare me.
