Given that the contracted security like 'Team SFO' are doing exactly what TSA tells them to, they may as well still be TSA.
Roll back checkpoint screening to pre 9/11 standards and set up.
Increase cargo screening.
Maintain current cockpit/airline measures.
Remove TSA.
Oversight by FAA.
The useful TSOs will be retained by contract security companies. The useless ones will either go back to the fast food counters, the unemployment line or be sent to prison.
