Past time to ditch the useless @TSA.https://twitter.com/erick_ferris/status/733263978365779969 …
The success of one private contractor at one airport does not prove private contractors at all airports would be better.

Of course. But SFO is the only post-9/11 data point I have. Pre-9/11 security was private and it was fine.
-
Of course, TSA also brought in the poorly thought out full body scanners https://radsec.org/ which are very slow.
-
TSA did that? I thought Congress and DHS writ large did that, largely at the behest of contractors looking to get rich.

I thought it was TSA. https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/1652-AA67/passenger-screening-using-advanced-imaging-technology … But it could have been a non-TSA part of DHS.

But your complaint abt scanners, in particular, is a complaint about privatization.
-
my complaint about scanners is they purchased these slow, ineffective machines with a lot of our money. (Plus privacy concerns.)
-
Yes. And the reason they did that is bc when contractors get involved in govt services, decisions get even stupider.
-
no doubt. But that seems orthogonal to TSA vs private screeners.
