Worst fears realized - the Dems have enshrined incompetence in airport security Federalization.
As predicted "Federalization" (and unionization) of airport security means - just like with teachers uniuons - that the incompetent get job security and airport security, like education, becomes an afterthought. But that was the Dem plan all along. I'll bet Bush regrets having a Dem transportation chief now:

AIRLINE SECURITY
Rules Will Allow Airport Screeners to Remain in Jobs
By DAVID FIRESTONE
Kevin Moloney for The New York Times
Transportation security officials now say that a year of experience as an airline screener could be a substitute for a high school diploma.
After stoking high expectations that the federal takeover of airport security would lead to a new breed of airport security screener, one who was better educated and more qualified to assume a position of increased responsibility, the Department of Transportation has decided not to impose rules that would displace thousands of current screeners....

..."The idea is to allow current screeners who would otherwise qualify but may not have high school diplomas to be eligible, so they do not get left behind," said Paul Takemoto, a spokesman for the security administration, which is part of the Department of Transportation....
That's it - the people who were considered incompetent and became the reason for Federalization are staying on - with Federal union protection. If the system had been left in private hands such people could have been and would have been let go.
So the Dems, as with education, swept in and conned the stupid, all the while insuring that the incompetent - their other constituency - will be kept on.
Another Dem victory against America. And thank you too John McCain! |
