Why's that funny? Jobs programs and basic income are completely different animals. I'm sure many people take issue with the various externalities associated with job programs, e.g. In this case making all of our lives more difficult and wasting our time while travelling. If we simply gave all TSA employees a basic income and told them to stay out of the way (i.e., fired them) the end goal of giving them money would be achieved but without the additional drain on everyone else's resources.
