Is this worth a letter to your home airport, if currently "served" by the TSA? That seems to be the message from one congressman.

...But now one of the lawmakers who authored the law that created the TSA thinks that airports should switch back to using private companies to handle security.

"When the TSA was established, it was never envisioned that it would become a huge, unwieldy bureaucracy which was soon to grow to 67,000 employees," Representative John Mica, a Florida Republican who is expected to be the next chairman of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, wrote in a letter to administrators of 150 U.S. airports.

John Mica, the Republican who will soon be chairman of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, is reminding airports that they have a choice.
