The GAO wants to send TSA Surface Inspectors to quantifiable targets all over the country.
"The Government Accountability Office on Monday recommended that the Transportation Security Administration establish quantifiable targets for its Surface Transportation Security Inspectors Program."
A GAO report titled "Surface Transportation Security: TSA Has Taken Steps to Improve its Surface Inspector Program, but Lacks Performance Targets" reveals that TSA inspectors are conducting risk assessments or America’s roads and mass transit.
"The nation’s surface transportation system includes nearly 140,000 miles of railroad track and 4 million miles of roads," the report said."It supports nearly 10 billion mass transit trips annually.
"Within the federal government, the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is the entity primarily responsible for securing surface transportation modes. TSA’s Surface Transportation Security Inspectors Program (surface inspector program) implements the agency’s mission by deploying surface transportation security inspectors, known as Surface Inspectors, throughout the country to enforce regulations and assist surface transportation entities with security-related matters."
"TSA’s domain included nearly 140,000 miles of railroad track, over 2.5 million miles of pipeline, and 4 million miles of roads. We also reported that there were 10 billion annual passenger trips on mass transit systems, including 24 million students on school buses each day."
"The persons described in paragraph (a) of this section must allow TSA and other authorized DHS officials, at any time and in a reasonable manner, without advance notice, to enter, inspect, and test property, facilities, equipment, and operations; and to view, inspect, and copy records, as necessary to carry out TSA’s security-related statutory or regulatory authorities, including its authority to - enter, without advance notice, and be present within any area or within any conveyance without access media or identification media issued or approved by a railroad carrier, rail transit system owner or operator, rail hazardous materials shipper, or rail hazardous materials receiver in order to inspect or test compliance, or perform other such duties as TSA may direct."
TSA’s "quantifiable targets" include people using mass transit
Have you ever taken pictures while using public transit, or complained about its reliability? Have you ever questioned transit police or the CBP for asking for people’s ID’s on public transit? TSA’s Surface Inspectors could put your name on the No-Fly list for any number of suspicious activities.
"PARIS data also are used in air traveler security screening decisions through the creation and management of a list of individuals who are disqualified from eligibility to participate in the TSA Pre√ program for expedited screening (the TSA Pre√ Disqualification Protocol List)."
Who needs social credit scores when the TSA has by hook or by crook essentially created their own version of one under our very noses. The TSA Pre√ program determines if any American can fly domestically or leave the country for any reason.
