If the airline decides that they want to protect their pilots, crew and plane and hire a private security firm to screen charter flights, fine, that's up to them, and they can face any consequences of teams switching charter contracts to airlines that don't do that crap. But the TSA shouldn't be spending a dime on screening sports charters.

Something I did just think of is that my beloved St. Louis Blues fly Miami Air in and out of Spirit of St. Louis Airport (KSUS) which is a general aviation airport with no TSA security. I wonder if they're still forced to do this security theater with screenings at Scottrade Center even though they're not flying on a commercial airline and not flying out of a commercial airport.
