TSA Tossed to Create New Agencies

Less than four years after creating it, the Bush administration wants to dismantle much of the Transportation Security Administration. The TSA handles security at airports. And that's about all it would do under plans in the President's budget. Duties to keep and screen millions of photographs and fingerprints would shift to a new federal agency called "Screening Coordination and Operations." That agency in turn would be home to at least four more major divisions to track and screen passengers for possible terrorists. (WashPost)
