"TSA shuts door on private airport screening program"
TSA and thus the government, tightens its grip on controlling airports and travel in the US....
A program that allows airports to replace government screeners with private screeners is being brought to a standstill, just a month after the Transportation Security Administration said it was "neutral" on the program.
In late December, TSA spokesmen said, "If airports chose this route, we are going to work with them to do it."
But on Friday, the TSA denied an application by Springfield-Branson Airport in Missouri to privatize its checkpoint workforce, and in a statement, Pistole indicated other applications likewise will be denied.
A union for Transportation Security Administration employees said it supported the decision to halt the program.
Well, no shit Dick Tracy...the union.....
Its obvious that the union bitched about private companies were doing a better job than the government union workers and didn't like it....
Rep. John Mica, a Republican from Florida, wrote a letter encouraging airports to privatize their airport screeners, saying they would be more responsive to the public.\
Naturally, that didn't sit well with unions and their Democrat lapdogs in Washington, DC....
