The TSA scam continues

2013-11-13 23:43:46.100027+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

If you're outraged about government fraud and waste, note that the DHS spent a billion dollars on junk science.

Congress should consider the absence of scientifically validated evidence for using behavioral indicators to identify threats to aviation security when assessing the potential benefits and cost in making future funding decisions for aviation security. GAO included this matter because DHS did not concur with GAO’s recommendation that TSA limit future funding for these activities until it can provide such evidence, in part because DHS disagreed with GAO’s analysis of indicators. GAO continues to believe the report findings and recommendation are valid.
