23) Yep, @TSA is also responsible for protecting those other transportation systems, but only put 2% of their budget towards non-airport related securityhttps://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/12/us/us-trains-vulnerable-to-attack-security-experts-say.html …

24) Even with billions of dollars and utilizing the improved CAPPS I state-of-the-art "Secure Flight" system, people still make it through security. Another example: in 2014 a convicted terrorist with a background in explosives went through PreCheck.http://www.fox9.com/news/convicted-terrorist-sara-jane-olson-went-through-tsa-precheck …

25) In reference to the above incident, a #TSA Agent notified his supervisor upon recognizing the terrorist and he was directed to "take no further action and allow the traveler through the TSA Pre Check lane." Sara Jane Olson planted explosives underneath police cars in 1975.

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.

Replying to @andrewkimmel

you’re really ignorant, offer no new ideas and just piggy back off of the nonsense of others. you have no idea of the actual processes in place in the security checkpoints, you have no idea how secure flight works, you don’t even know how to describe the reason 9/11 happened
