They run the TSA... what did you expect?

  subset of a department being stupid doesn't make the entire department stupid. Classic class inheritance example.

    Well in this case, I think the stupidity attribute was probably declared on the parent class.

    Incorrect analogy. A subclass is defined as a class which can be used anywhere its parent can be used. Your comment implies that the TSA could be used to perform any duty of the DHS, which is obviously false. The DHS can however perform any duty of the TSA, since the TSA is under control of the DHS. So yes, stupidity of the child organization does imply some degree of stupidity of the organization as a whole. The converse however is indeed false (incompetence of the DHS does not imply incompetence of say, the Secret Service).
