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.

https://takingsenseaway.wordpress.com makes me think TSA has additional issues beyond the underlying airport screening issues.

Nope. What that proves is security theater has additional issues. Which comes from Congress, not TSA.
