Roger van Bakel has a roundup of TSA idiocy, crowned by this insult:

The cloth TSA badge that was sewn onto the white shirt on the old uniform has been replaced by a gold metal badge. The white shirt has been traded in for a blue one. The goal is to give screeners a more professional appearance and establish a greater air of authority, in an effort to command respect from travelers.

That only cost you $12 million, taxpayers.

By the way — respect is earned. Only obedience may be commanded.
