Past time to ditch the useless @TSA.https://twitter.com/erick_ferris/status/733263978365779969 …
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.
-
No, it seems to suggest that you're treating this as a TSA v. private when underlying issue is something else.
-
replacing any of TSA or scanners would, in my opinion, strictly improve airports. But I'm open to being wrong about that.
-
Sure. But that requires unstupid decision making about security, which in this case requires fewer private contractors.
