Militarize TSA?
Just floating out an idea and maybe it's been discussed here before, but what are the thoughts about using military or recently discharged military to replace the current TSA "employees".
1. Possibly more respectful and professional service.
2. Possibly more effective and efficient screening.
3. Showing of weapons may be more intimidating than Barney Fife-like screeners who likely worked at a fast food restaurant prior to getting their TSA uniform. The presence of military in airports throughout Europe as an example gives a greater sense of security, (at least to me).
We have a lot of our service men and women coming back from Afghanistan and Iraq. Perhaps this would be a way to have them provide a continued meaningful and respectable service to our country and get rid of the current keystone cops that we face in our airports that are clearly ineffective, rude, condescending and are totally inconsistent.
