Airports will now run as efficiently and effectivly as your local DMV.

Actually, here in Jersey, they privatized the DMV years ago. I've never had to do anything there that took longer than 1/2 hour. That includes getting a photo License (and I took the finished one with me). But your point is well taken...

Some years ago I had to go to the DMV in New York City. There was a long, long line of people waiting for service. There was a large group of DMV personnel sitting at desks eating, talking to each other and talking on the phone. Finally, after about an hour on this long line, an executive type man shouted "Does anybody work here?". That got them moving. I never forgot this and hearing today's announcement about federalizing airport workers, I said to myself "That's it - I'll never fly again" - and I won't.

Or as efficiently run as the Post office.

You're being too harsh. I only had to wait 10 minutes to get an oversized envelope mailing priced and stamped at the USPS today. The single attending clerk (others were busy in the back) leaned on his elbow as he speedily filled out forms in triplicate to contract a postal box rental to the young lady in front of me (demanded two forms of photo id, he did). Five or six customers were waiting patiently behind me.

"Airports will now run as efficiently and effectivly as your local DMV."

I've been to my local DMV 3 times in the past month and have spent no more than 10 minutes there each time.
Therefore, I'm taking this as good news.
