I stated PROPER Federal Oversight.
The FAA, thanks in no small part to Norman Minetta's incompetence was not overseeing ANYTHING in 2001.
As for staffing, the baggage screening is a very weak excuse. All the TSA has to do is obtain functional bomb detection equipment. eliminate all the false positive readings, eliminate at least 1 position.
I still stand behind my statement that 1 in every 4 TSA employees is an unneccesary position.
As for immigrants, Legal or Illegal, if it's my tax dolllars paying their salaries, they **** sure better be American Citizens. If they are Illegal, how in God's name could they even file a lawsuit. They should have been shipped home the instant they set foot in the courthouse.
