With all due respect, I think I am in a better position than you to address why I didn't respond.
This is irrelevant anyway. It is also true that 9/11 didn't happen because of the absence of a central federal organization determining airport security procedures that will be implemented by private screeners whose organization employer has a contract with the federal government to provide screening.

Innovation and efficiency how? They have to follow the same SOP as every other airport.

SPP doesn't change the number of jobs at TSA HQ.

Your former boss is lining his own pockets thanks to the decisions he made as DHS Secretary. Imagine that.
AIT was still in the testing stage when Kip Hawley was in office. The decision to go with a nationwide implementation happened after he left office.
