Bush's TSA is a department of idiots. The best thing Obama could do is restructure it, replace every bit of management, and retrain the entire staff. Leaving SF for Chicago and then DC a couple of weeks ago, I ran into a TSA'er who spent five minutes shining a blue flashlight onto my state driver's license. She was looking in the wrong place for the "invisible" part. So I said, "Want to examine one of my concealed carry permits?" They all have my photo on them, too. I thought she was going to loogy her pants. It was the Democrats who demanded that we fire the private security people and make them "fireproof" government dweebs. You're in favor of Blackwater running the TSA?? I don't think so... Blackwater is the group protecting Hillary right now so somebody likes them. There was still no reason why the actual screeners could not be contracted and working under TSA guidance. The way it is, we own those people forever, even if they came up with a lot less labor intensive way to screen passengers. If anything, having 45,000 minimally skilled employees, you can't fire, will stifle innovation. "Thinking" was never a job requirement for this job. If the contract were let based on technical ability and not low bid I'd agree. Low bid is where these people came from when Washington "fixed" our security by making them all federal employees. As it is, TSA, our first line of defense, looks like a social program staffed with jerkoffs that are as likely to steal out of your luggage than screen for hazardous goods. |
