House Republicans look to ‘strip’ TSA screeners of their ‘officer’ title
More than two dozen House Republicans introduced legislation on Thursday that would prevent the Transportation Security Agency (TSA) from calling airport screeners "officer" unless they have gone through federal law enforcement training or are otherwise eligible for federal law enforcement benefits.

To your first point - Private security did not fail us on 9/11. The terrorists brought on LEGALLY allowed items.
I agree.
I don't care what they do. I think they should all be "deputized" and sent to the Mideast to "remove with prejudice" the culprets that are the reason for the TSA's being, and let the rest of us go back to enjoying air travel. I know the IRS wouldn't be happy with this solution, because it would move that section of the Treasury Department back to the top of everyone'e hate list.
I agree here.
They are arrogant, nasty, ignorant, couldn't get a job at the post office losers, with unjustified power.
Abolish the TSA and adopt the El Al method of intercepting "real threats" instead of harassing our society!

Are you all weak on terrorism? Where were you when George Bush created the largest beurocracy in the history of the nation? Now congress wants to pass a bill that would allow the military to arrest and detain indefinately any US citizen on US soil who they only suspect has terrorist ties. They want to declare the whole country as a battle field. Who thinks Obama should sign this one into law?
A very sound idea!
Second if you want to see how privatising governmental functions works read the book "Blackwater".
Going private may reduce government head counts, and long term benefit obligations, and avoid unions, etc, but it costs a lot more in the short run, and that short run can be pretty long, such as having 100,000 private contractors in Iraq. That public trough is sure attractive.
