26) So who benefits from @TSA? Look up the company @MorphoTrust. In 2012, they received a 1-year contract with options to continue. The total contract value for five years was estimated to be $248 million. https://findbiometrics.com/morphotrust-usa-selected-as-prime-contractor-for-tsa-universal-enrollment-service/ …
27) That does not include the prior 6 years worth of contracts the company held with @TSA following the attacks of 9/11. Of which I'd love for someone else to dig into if you have the time! #TSA #MorphoTrust
28) @RapiscanSystems agreed to cancel a $40 mil contract with TSA when their invasive scanning systems produced nearly-nude images of passengers (including politicians!) that were shared/mocked by TSA employees.https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/trafficandcommuting/tsa-to-pull-revealing-scanners-from-airports/2013/01/18/1b7d5d22-6198-11e2-9940-6fc488f3fecd_story.html …
29) In 2007, #TSA was proud to announce $52.3 million worth of contracts for the year with room for more purchases "over the next two years". $21 million of that was awarded to @smithsdetection. Other corps included @AnalogicAVSEC, & Nomadics, Inchttps://www.tsa.gov/news/releases/2007/10/03/tsa-awards-multiple-contracts-expand-suite-security-technology …
30) To try and wrap this thread up, @TSA is a complete waste of money that does nothing to protect us. With between an 80-95% rate of failure, it takes less than 1% for another 9/11 to occur. And those failures were not due to technology, but human error.
31) Rather than waste nearly $8 billion a year on #TSA, we could drastically & safely downsize the agency (or place it back with airlines/airports) & use that $ for other things with REAL value, ie. medicare for all, education, infrastructure, and investing in renewable energy.
