And in regard to illegals needing to be here because we need cheap labor. Either A- do your own lawn or B pay americans better wages nobody will work for fifty cents. The illegals should be kicked out kids born here need their usa citizenship revoked. Companies and citizens who hire illegals should face penalties and jail time.
I strongly agree with your last sentence. That is the only way America will take the problem serious...by hitting the companies in the wallet. Making the TSA private will solve nothing. The pay and benifits would be lower..which leads to lower qualified employees (I met a married couple in their 50's working for private company at BNA right after 9-11..they tried to convince everyone that even though they took the checkpoint security job, they were being actively recruited by the C.I.A. as deep cover operatives

). I have met hundreds of TSA employees and have to say that the professionalism is a great deal higher....wait...wait...BUT, they still have a long way to go and constantly strive to work around some of the moronic policy that they are forced to abide. A great deal of them seem to have acquired a pessimistic attitude and remind me of street cops with 20 years on the beat. Management should make a policy of promoting and rewarding the pleasant ones that enjoy their jobs and can the ones that are there to feed off of the government teat. But we both know that won't happen.
As far as the FAM discussion...dead horse. A house has not burned nor been broken into in my neighbor in decades, but I still want to keep the police and fire department around. From your earlier post, it seems that the heart of your objection is the 1st class seat. Move 1st class to the rear and then everyone can be happy.
Have a great day all!
