Airports Want TSA out

[Thunderknuckles]

"The TSA has been keen to downplay the opportunity for airports to dispense with their screeners, fearing a mass exodus that could undermine the justification for the agency’s continued existence"

That's the scary part. If the TSA can't justify its existence at the airport, they will try and migrate toward other modes of transportation where they can. Railroads and trucking come to mind. Who knows, maybe even random pedestrian checkpoints and patdowns

That's not the scary part, it's the part that gives hope.

My friend, Gov't agencies are like living creatures. They will do what they must to survive. Don't think for an instant the TSA will not do what it can to survive.
This is assuming the Gov't doesn't outright deny every airport request to go private.

You clearly haven't read any of my posts, especially those regarding the TSA. When Congress forces an agency to allow an opt out of the TSA I have hope that the agency will soon be seen as pointless. That doesn't mean that vigilance is not required.

Mm hmm.

Well sure; given unfettered freedom to travel I'd probably kill myself...and others. Thanks TSA, I had no idea how dangerous this cupcake frosting could possibly be--crisis averted
