This won't get rid of government mandates to molest and porno scan but maybe it is a start to get rid of TSA government workers....and might prevent Obama's attempt to form a new Government union...
In a climate of Internet campaigns to shun airport pat-downs and veteran pilots suing over their treatment by government screeners, some airports are considering another way to show dissatisfaction: Ditching TSA agents altogether.
Federal law allows airports to opt for screeners from the private sector instead. The push is being led by a powerful Florida congressman who's a longtime critic of the Transportation Security Administration and counts among his campaign contributors some of the companies who might take the TSA's place.
The Associated Press: Airports consider congressman's call to ditch TSA
An airport in Florida wants to kick out Transportation Security Administration staff and replace them with private contractors.
Orlando Sanford International Airport says the move would give it greater oversight over how security staff treat passengers.
"Privatization breeds competition," airport spokeswoman Diane Crews told AOL News. "It will create a more efficient operation, it will allow us greater oversight as an airport authority, and it will result in greater customer satisfaction."
