The private contractor who has the large security contracts just happens to be a big donor to the GOP. OF course Bush's lack of desire to make airport security guards fed. employees couldn't be related to campaign contributions.........could it?

WHen it's my safety and the safety of my family at stake, I expect high quality employees to be employed........not minimum wage employees who only stay on the job for 3 to 6 months!! What a joke.

Better benefits and salaries will attract a much higher quality candidate for the security positions. If we leave this up to Bush...........all of us and our families will be at an increased risk.

I had made the suggestion of using military personnel for airport security and confess that is probably excessive. There are apparently statutes related to using the military for civilian law enforcement. The idea of another unionized federal agency though is still disgusting to me.

Thanks for the article.
