ATF (actually the BATF&E), EPA, DHS, IRS, TSA and FBI all need to be revamped or dissolved and reborn with the best interest of the country and its citizens as the main priority (following closely to that great document our forefathers wrote so long ago).
Despite my disgust over all of them, they do provide a vital service to us and the U.S.. But they are riddled with those who have an ulterior motive, the sloven and the totally useless. The FBI has followed and/or interviewed EVERY SINGLE mass shooter in the last several years but determined they were no threat to society. Incredulous!!! The ATF has been a bullshit organization since the days of Janet Reno. The EPA and the IRS should not be driven by fines. They should not be allowed to fund themselves by fines. Fines should go into a general fund or given back to the states where the damage was done. The EPA needs to go back to being regulatory in mission and put the collecting on the IRS. The DHS does provide an very real service to the US but should not be trying to turn all our PDs into military units. Give the $$$ to our local PDs and make them responsible, and accountable, for increasing their service. The TSA, well, any one of us that has flown recently can attest to their complete and utter incompetence. Dissolve them completely and put the security of the airports directly on the airports (with guidance). Transfer all funds used for the TSA to achieve this. Minimum wage workers should not be used to screen, harass and intimidate travelers. People flying will increase as will revenue. It should pay fort itself over time. Profile, profile, profile (f**k the ACLU). When was the last time a grandma wearing Depends tries to blow up a plane? Profiling works and that is why the ACLU doesn't like it. The right people are profiles and caught (ask the Sheriffs in Georgia).
Ok, off my soapbox. Time to take my wife out on date night.
