"However, legislators included a provision that permits airports to opt out of the federal program and hire private screeners starting in November 2004."

I hope that this 1)comes sooner than Nov 2004 and 2)includes privatizing security management at airports. I've encountered several FSDs at airports, including SDF, who are real scumbags, just as their boss Admiral Loy is.
