The Transportation Security Administration this week invited airports to apply to leave the federal security screener system and return to private screeners. The government took over airport screening after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and is planning a transition for approved airports by spring or summer 2005.

Am I the only one who thinks this is highly FUCKED UP?

TSA said security companies must provide comparable pay and benefits to their workers and must give priority in hiring to current TSA screeners. But that isn't reassuring to many TSA screeners, said Ron Moore, a screener at BWI and president of Local 1, the American Federation of Government Employees union.
"We feel protected as federal screeners because we don't feel we can be pressured by airlines or airports," Moore said. "The passengers seem to respond better to us because we're federal. It would be a shame to start to break that." [my emphasis]
Does (p)resident Inept Loser want another 9/11 incident? What the fuck are these people thinking? Let's just go back to the system that enabled the 9/11 hijackers in the first place. BWI and Dulles are supposed to be first. Write, call, and email your elected representatives. Go see Kos for all sorts of links.
