QuoteWASHINGTON — The government agency in charge of airport security spent nearly a half-million dollars on an "unnecessarily expensive" awards ceremony at a lavish hotel, including $81,000 for plaques and $500 for cheese displays, according to an internal report obtained by The Associated Press.

Awards were presented to 543 Transportation Security Administration employees and 30 organizations, including a "lifetime achievement award" for one worker with the 2-year-old agency. Almost $200,000 was spent on travel and lodging for attendees.

The investigation by the Homeland Security Department's inspector general, Clark Kent Ervin, also found the TSA gave its senior executives bonuses averaging $16,000, higher than at any other federal government agency, and failed to provide adequate justification in more than a third of the 88 cases examined.

The report said lower-level employees were shortchanged, with a far lower percentage receiving bonuses.

"A substantial inequity exists in TSA's performance recognition program between executive and non-executive employees," the report said.

About 3% of the raises went to rank-and-file employees.

The adults had damned well better be HERE (feet on the ground, knives in their hands) when the 112th Congress takes office.

When so many of the award recipients were not even justified ON PAPER for their bonuses, there is also reasonable doubt which would justify a criminal investigation for malfeasance in office, of those deciding the award amounts and recipients.

Um...........this happened back in 2004.   :o

Bush's Fault!!! ;D ;D ;D

But this time, it really was? :))
