Rahm Emanuel casts doubt on future of aviation security force

A few lines from this article:
Under pointed questioning, Evans revealed that she had ordered aviation security officers to remove the word “police” from their uniforms.

But she could not explain why the directive she issued in January was not enforced and why the video clearly shows the word “police” on the jacket of at least one of the three aviation security officers who boarded the plane.

Even more infuriating to aldermen was the fact that O’Hare security chief Jeff Redding could not articulate what, if any, use of force policy had been given to aviation security officers.
So, we still don't know why the aviation officers are wearing police gear still, and now we don't know what instructions they've been given on the use of force, either. Just gets more interesting each new day.
