Well, this is less than comforting. A recent study showed that hundreds of TSA agents across the country failed their drug and alcohol tests. Blaze reports:

In its report published this week, KGW-TV found that 858 TSA workers around the country tested positive for drugs and alcohol between 2010 and 2016, according to federal records obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request.

And the drug use occurred at some of the nation’s busiest hubs: 51 TSA workers tested positive for drugs and alcohol at Los Angeles International Airport, 41 tested positive at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City, 35 at Boston’s Logan International Airport and six at the Portland International Airport.

A spokesperson for the TSA said any employees who fail the drug and alcohol tests, which are administered randomly, are fired. The agency also targets employees it believes to be under the influence.

“Illegal substances include, but are not limited to, cocaine, marijuana, opiates, amphetamines, and phencyclidine ,” TSA spokesman Nico Melendez told KGW.

What else can you expect from a bloated federal bureaucracy comprised of 60,000 employees at 450 airports?

Well, sobriety would be the obvious answer. I think it’s time to have an intervention with the TSA — and other government agencies that are too big, corrupt, and incompetent for America’s good. Click here for more info on that intervention.
