The GA cannot deselect anyone because that would create a "hole" in the system. Yes, there are plenty, but if the GA could do that, then he/she could be "bought off" and deselect someone who "might" have nefarious intent. I am not saying that is the only reason, but it is one of them. The TSA has the authority to increase the number of "selectees" as it sees fit, but it cannot go below the number set by the airlines.

Then your proposition that the TSA has nothing to do with the selectees or the number of selectees is also, er... full of holes.
