TSA orders Richmond airport to give security clearance to felon

Hmm, sure seems like TSA is calling the shots.
Someone has to, should it be United Airlines? How about Enron?

I read the story and am not quite sure what to think. Even now. He was a kid when he did the crime, and kids commonly have their criminal records sealed when they reach the age of majority because I suppose society is giving them a chance to meet the expectations of their new status as an adult.

I'm pretty sure that we dont know the whole story anyway. Or anything even close.

Read above. Someone has to be in charge.

I recently had to take an 8 hour Hazmat course for the TSA. Dead boring BTW, but required because the TSA must conform to the requirements of the EPA and a few other federal agencies when dealing with Hazmat. Even the military must do so in many instances. No one gets a free pass. The point is that even though it may “look” like the TSA is in charge, they must follow the directions of other government agencies in areas where that other agency has jurisdiction. So the term “In charge” has several meanings when you are talking about government agencies.
