when such an important task as airport screening/checking/security is not being performed rigorously and aggressively, "a reasonable person" would want that employee moved out of the job/fired immediately. firing can't be done Immediately using federal employees due to federal employee protections. clearly this important task was not (and still is not being) done by security personnel that the airlines provided. so if we put our thinking caps on a bit, it seems reasonable that a private enterprise for airport screening/checking/security not under airline supervision/control but under federal employee oversight (quality control/birddoging) should fulfill the requirements. that is how i interpreted bush's federal employee rejection.

as for your comments about israeli airport screener security, i have gone in and out of there at least six to eight times over many years. flying into the airport the checkers look older, and of course they have the customs people at the end of the trail. when entering the airport grounds, there is the entering vehicle checkpoint way outside the airport buildings (these have got to be police or military, because all vehicles stop there). when leaving the airport (to get On the planes) i have noticed that they all look young (or reasonably young). i don't know if they are government/private/military, but i have always figured that they were probably doing it as part of their military service and were not long term government employees. were you implying or stating that they Are federal civil service employees? i would be very surprised if they are.

i don't have any comments on the political parts of your post.
