Kip Hawley is a lying SOB. He knows damn well that TSA wouldn't have prevented 9/11.
My simple TSA deconstruction - eliminate the position of federalized TSO. Transfer the responsibility for airport security back to the Department of
Transportation. DOT/FAA creates the position of Airport Security Director at every US airport, and gives this individual a
small, professional staff to oversee the contractors who will be hired to perform the actual screening under rules promulgated by DOT/FAA, not the brown shirts in DHS.
