Nope, not now. If you remember, President Bush was vocally against federalizing airport security, because he figured raising hiring/performing standards way hig, WITH government oversight to ensure those standard were upheld, would be much better than letting the Fed run anything. After all, what private enterprise does the government run which is both efficieant AND cost effective, hmmmmmmmm??
Unfortunately, everyone was so scared that airports couldn't be trusted to raise their standards, even with Homeland Defense breathing down their necks, that the American people, even the conservatives, caved to DEMOCRATS. Now airport security is not only federalized, but under DOT control!
Best bet: MAKE MUCH, LONG, LOUD NOISE AND GET AIRPORT SECURITY BACK INTO THE PRIVATE SECTOR, WHERE IT BELONGS.
I'll have to get bact to you on that.
It's possible there are things that can't be cost effective but we still need them.
What we really need are standards, oversight and consequences.
MAKE MUCH, LONG, LOUD NOISE AND GET AIRPORT SECURITY BACK INTO THE PRIVATE SECTOR, WHERE IT BELONGS.
Yes.
