The one and only area where Federal workers makes sense is in the security arena.

The problem with making feds out of security screeners is just that: to satisfy the PC watchdawgs, we will simpy have to hire all those poor screeners who will lose their jobs. So, we wind up with better-paid versions of what we have now.

IMHO, aiport security is a job for the military. Those folks are accountable for their performance. They're specialists -- and, by the way, highly underpaid.

I agree 100%. When I say 'Federalize' the workers, I mean militarize the airport security, as though it were a US border (Hmm, crazy thought). I do not mean simply hire the same un-trained airport crossing guards back as Federal security officers.

You are right on the money with that one.
