A petition to abolish the TSA has appeared on the White House.gov website. The petition already has almost 8,000 signatures, and has already passed the 5,000 mark required for it to receive some kind of response from WhiteHouse.gov.

It is entitled “Abolish the TSA, and use its monstrous budget to fund more sophisticated, less intrusive counter-terrorism intelligence,” and the full text reads as follows.

The Transportation Security Administration has been one of the largest, most expensive and most visible blunders of the post-9-11 homeland security reformation. It has violated countless constitutional rights of average Americans, caused miserable and expensive delays in an already-overburdened air travel system, and allowed multiple known instances of harassment, theft, extortion and sexual abuse by its employees. It has failed approximately 70% of undercover efficacy tests, and for all its excesses, has been unable to catch even a single terrorist since its creation. In our current economic situation, we can no longer afford to continue wasting taxpayer dollars on this kafkaesque embarrassment. Let us instead invest in saner, more effective solutions.

    • We need a petition to ensure protections of the most vulnerable among us...

      They're busy trying to take away every security net the less fortunate have, go back to the "New Deal", you don't have to agree with it, but history demonstrates how the changes enacted helped everyone. Sadly they've spent the whole time since dismantling it, and have been quite effective.

      We are judged by how we treat the least among us....

      Actually, I believe it is THE White House website: https://wwws.whitehouse.gov/petitions/!/petition/abolish-tsa-and-use-its-monstrous-budget-fund-more-sophisticated-less-intrusive-counter-terrorism/c7L94bFB

      Go to whitehouse.gov (official website) > The Administration tab > We The People > Open Petitions > Select "Popular" and find it at 18,800 signatures—only just behind "Legalize and Regulate Marijuana in a Manner Similar to Alcohol."
