TSA to the Rescue

What does the Transportation Security Administration have to do with disaster relief? Technically, nothing. But that didn't stop 150 employees of the agency from taking it upon themselves to head to Houston voluntarily on Monday to assist with Hurricane Ike relief efforts. That's in addition to the 200 TSA officers who were sent to Houston airports before the storm to faciltitate the evacuation of residents of the area.

There's a real-world story of "bureaucracy" in action for you.
