Of course. But SFO is the only post-9/11 data point I have. Pre-9/11 security was private and it was fine.
Sure. But that requires unstupid decision making about security, which in this case requires fewer private contractors.

I think we can distinguish between contract screeners and billion-dollar manufacturing contracts.

Outsourcing screening would not be a billion-dollar contract? Or somehow contracting for labor is better than manufacturing?

I'm just saying they're different beasts. Neither are necessarily bad. But I want airports to hire/fire screeners, not govt.
-
Public-private quasi-govt entities are better at hiring and firing than govt entities that by law have more transparency?
-
in general? Not sure. Here, if SFO is unhappy, they can hire a new company. That seems good.
-
It's not clear that if OHare (owned by entirely dysfunctional Chicago govt) would hire or fire very well.
-
hmm. Two very good points.

Are you telling me Lockheed & SAIC profiling programs for NSA don't have the same kind of failures?

I'm not familiar enough to have an opinion.
