I agree that having the poorly trained TSA folks do the id checks is no better (actually worse b/c they come with attitude) than the contracting folks that are here now. However I disagree that a trained person checking ids isn't a potential security improvement as there are fake ids that can be identified if you have a clue, just ask your local bouncer. Hmmm, maybe TSA should go on a recruiting mission to the local bars. Couldn't be any worse than the folks there now.
