Keep in mind that the private firm has to follow ALL the TSA requirements and procedures. The fines assessed if they are caught not doing so are pretty heavy. And they will be watched.
FYI, TSA fines for “violations” by the private security firm are levied on the firm *AND* the individual employee who makes the error in following procedure.
So, don’t get too ecstatic. It may be the best that can be hoped for here is that the security employees will be less arrogant.
True, but what if someone sued one of the private security agents for sexual assault? It might have a different outcome than if someone were to sue a TSA agent. Any Freeper lawyers care to weigh in on this one?
