When ATCs tried this, Reagan just fired them all.
Show me any such low skilled job in the private sector that pays as much as the TSA and comes with FULL PENSION.
Lots of soldiers sitting around on the taxpayer’s dime. Send them to the airports to run the screening devices.
Not enough soldiers available? Bring them in from Europe and Africa and Asia.
How did we fly before this union laden crap? Fire them and bring in real professionals, instead of a bunch of welfare bottom feeders!
I equate TSA with the stupid unarmed Security ‘monitors’ you see everywhere that makes minimum wage or barely above. TSA is the exception since they are fed gov employees, unionized, and get full pensions.
So? Just build the damned wall. Problem solved.
The National Guard weenies would be perfect for the job.
I remember when the Air Traffic Controllers thought they had the power to bring the Nation to her knees...lots of them ended up in soup lines.....maybe a Super RIF is in order.
How about just getting rid of the TSA altogether?
There’s no evidence they are doing anything to make us safer.
“This is a huge opportunity for airports to privatize screening security.”
Absolutely. Fire their asses. Bring in private firms with the current ees’ names on a blacklist with no possibility of being hired.
“Show me any such low skilled job in the private sector that pays as much as the TSA”
And consider what would happen if private sector ees copped attitude and bullied their customers as the TSC mouth breathers do.
We have to fly next month qnd aren’t looking forward to it.
The real question in all of this is whether freedom or security is most important.
Also, whether it’s contractors/military or TSA providing the “Security”, all security measures would still be developed, implemented and mandated by the government.
“Lots of soldiers sitting around on the taxpayer’s dime.”
Probably thousands of able-bodied vets who’d love to have a good job.
Day 30! The WFR act has been triggered, That’s work force reduction act. Normally you pretty much can’t fire a Gov. employee but after 30 days furlough you can because, wait for it..... They might not be essential.
Say by by TSA, would make my heart soar.
If they can't leverage their veterans preference to get a federal or state job, they must be really bad.
MCI - Kansas City - one of the worst set up small airports in the country. Always a pain to fly in or out of. A few million dollars and some common sense could have really improved things there. And bringing the TSA couldn't have hurt.
Looks like the current plan is to clean out the taxpayers and passengers, bulldoze everything, and build from scratch.
The rank and file TSA employees are made up of people who used to work at McDonalds and other fast food joints.
“The rank and file TSA employees are made up of people who used to work at McDonalds and other fast food joints.”
Sad but true. Don’t forget that many of the rank and file regard English as their second (or third) language.
