“The TSA in its mind-boggling stupidity came up with a scheme it called ‘TWIC’ (‘Transportation Worker Indentification Credential’). TSA forced drivers to undergo background checks and fingerprinting and Lord-knows-what-all. And get this: ‘TWIC enrollment centers’ were often hundreds of miles from drivers’ homes and depots, forcing these professionals to work thousands of hours of unpaid overtime. TWIC also costs those hard-working serfs around $130. Remember that many drivers work as independent contractors, in business for themselves, so no company picks up such expenses for them.”
