Keshia Knight Pulliam thinks it's wasteful for the Federal government to drop $50 mil on TSA uniforms in the wake of massive spending cuts.

As the "Cosby" star was leaving LAX this AM, she eyed a few TSA agents and concluded they were cute enough as is. 

The lines at airports have already gotten longer in the last few days after the sequester deadline passed ... and given all the cuts Keshia thinks the government should find better ways to spend money.

BTW ... there are 50,000 security officers, inspectors, air marshals and managers.  That comes to $1,000 per TSA agent. 

Who's the designer ... Hugo Boss?

Keshia Knight Pulliam made $20k PER EPISODE to star on "House of Payne" this season ... and then fired the agents who put the deal together ... this according to a new lawsuit obtained by TMZ.

KKP is being sued by Greene & Associates Talent Agency ... which claims it signed Keshia back in 2007 and immediately got her a lead role on the Tyler Perry TV show as Miranda Payne.

G&A claims it kicked ass for KKP, getting her between $7,500 to $20k per episode ... including $20k per ep for all of the 2011-12 season ... not bad.

But not good enough for Keshia ... because according to the suit, she fired G&A back in July.

There's just one BIG problem ... G&A claims Keshia never forked over a single cent in commission from the 'Payne' deal ... and several other shows it worked on for Keshia.

Now, the agency is suing for more than $100k in back payments PLUS more than $250k for commissions that Keshia stands to earn in the future from deals it helped put together.
