I wonder if this is somehow tied to bonuses (which apparently run in the thousands, even for those fairly low in rank). Perhaps Kelly has told his FSDs that their bonuses will be tied to their airport's Red Team tests - or whichever airport comes up with a new procedure that impresses the public or, better yet, improves the Red Team score.
In the article, TSA blames the screening contractor for instituting this "pilot program". Does anyone believe that TSA would allow a contractor to do this, in spite of what the article states?
