TSA Agents caught at off-duty party doing drugs

CBS News: Exclusive: TSA Workers Caught Using Drugs?
The investigation began late last year when a TSA Agent was arrested for allegedly counterfeiting parking passes at the employee parking lot. In his house, police found a videotape. On it was an after hours party where other TSA agents were allegedly using drugs, reports KCAL's David Goldstein.

TSA sources say the tape was turned over to investigators. Each employee identified was ordered to take a drug test. TSA won't say how many, but each one who failed was fired, Goldstein reports.

Hey, we should just be happy they even tested them.
He wouldn't talk specifics, but said the agency has random drug testing, and claims the employees would have been caught even without the video.

Oh, I'm sure their random drug testing program is effective, because everyone knows that when there is a threat of random drug testing, lots of employees hold parties with their coworkers where they do drugs.
None of the employees was charged with any crimes. Even the TSA agent caught counterfeiting parking passes wasn't prosecuted because no one he sold to would come forward, notes Goldstein.

Yep. Sounds like a federal agency.

These are the folks that are supposed to be keeping us safe.

Is there ANYTHING the government does well? (besides spending our money)
