Maybe they can find a better home for the TSA too?
That would be nice. I handle explosives at least once a year as part of my job. Went and did a demolition range a few weeks before holiday leave last year, and brought the gloves I was wearing in my backpack. Got pulled over for the random check as usual, crap! Was expecting some trouble from them swabbing the gloves, but then I thought.. hey dude, it's cool if you swab everything, but please don't swab the gloves. He of course asked why.. told him I work with explosives.. and he kinda just set the gloves aside after giving me a look, swabbed the bag, and on I went.
I love their potential explosives disposal method too. I think a comic said it once, let's put all these potential bombs in garbage cans with all the other potential bombs in the area of the airport that's most crowded with people... brilliant!
But aside from that, ATF as an organization does seem pretty redundant when you see all that the FBI and DEA do. Wonder what will happen with that.
Let's start a separate thread for that though, please.
