Everyone is going to be screwed by this and it has nothing to do with increased security. The only reason the Democrats pushed this Federal Screeners thing through was so they could add tens of thousands of Federal workers to the payroll thus increasing membership in the Federal workers' union which votes almost universally democratic...........why oh why do we all allow this............? </font>
Because the alternative was to use notsobright or people like. Hopefully the Governement will not stay in the security business too long. After 20+ years they are giving up on Amtrack, and you think that will run well in private hands? I would rather have the G provide security then notsobright, at least for a few years until they take a look at it again when they have a better understanding.
