Praise for Bureaucratic Reorganization

Stuart Baker at Volokh Conspiracy posts about TSA's new approach in screening international airline passengers.  And he sneaks in a compliment to the reorganization which created DHS:

"This new system is also a sign that the creation of DHS is in fact paying dividends.  If we still had three separate cabinet departments doing customs, border immigration, and air security, there is no possibility that TSA would be borrowing from and cooperating with border agencies to use their techniques and perhaps their IT systems to screen passengers."

He prefers the approach using a person's individual data to estimate probabilities rather than using more general characteristics, like nationality.
