Washington DC (GlossyNews) — The US Transportation Security Administration today announced effective February 1, 2010, the Administration will take the word “Security” out of its title, becoming simply the US Transportation Administration.
The official spokesman for the Administration, Roger ‘ Pink ‘ Floyd, told the Glossy News this morning, “The whole security thing is a lot harder than we originally thought. We think it is just beyond the scope of services we can offer at this time.”
The TSA has been under fire for a number of recent security breaches, the latest in which a man was able to walk through an exit door into a terminal area and back out a half hour later, without detection.
The TSA feels that the other services it provides still justifies its huge budget and personnel levels. Floyd stated, “There is a lot we do besides security. For instance we slow down the traffic going into the terminals. We help people repack their bags. We assist people in ensuring their laptop batteries are still working. Not to mention that many people have bought slip on shoes, and new socks to go through the security checkpoints — helping the economy.”
When asked who would take over the security aspects of air travel, Floyd remarked, “Honestly, is there really a security issue? It was kind of blown out of proportion by the Bush Administration. Let’s face it, we haven’t really enforced any security and nothing bad has happened.”
