TSA delays of 3 hrs for a 2hr flight

Anybody following the media coverage of public backlash against airport delays due to slow security screening?

In highly predictable fashion, all the usual sources are blaming TSA for incompetence and saying things like the public is to blame for bringing so many carry-on bags to be screened, and the airlines are to blame for charging fees to check bags, which leads to more passengers taking bags through security as carry-ons to avoid having to check the bags.

How about we blame Congress for failing to provide sufficient funding for the task that TSA has been presented with????
