'Surge': Not Just for Iraq Any More

Witness the headline on this Transportation Security Administration press release: " TSA Launches Airport-Wide Security Surge." The TSA surge is a little less ambitious than the Iraq operation, though: It involves deploying 160 transportation security officers, aviation security inspectors, air marshals and other personnel to beef up security operations at five airports. One result of the new push? "A sharp increase in random, unpredictable screening of employees in secure areas," TSA says.
