Now why isn't this sort of thing talked about during campaigns?


Because campaigns are run for the good of the candidate, not the good of the country or the people. If the campaign thought that promising to fix the TSA would be a net positive to attaining their goal of winning the election then they would do so.

The same analysis explains why very few important issues are discussed, and why even then, they are spoken of in a series of talking points previously gauged to insure a net positive result.


The TSA is consistently on the Republican agenda and the Democrats have a hard time laying people off.
