You are correct, Sir. The TSA is a massive bungle of the Democrats. Not only that, Daschle pushed it through in order to get contract business for his wife - certainly a conflict of interest, possibly illegal, and definitely downright despicable.

If his "you have to Federalize in order to professionalize" rings true, why is it that corporate American can make profits while the Federal government is drowning in debt and few of its departments produce net income after expenses and fraud? I think private enterprise is the way to go. Make stronger rules, but let the free enterprise system carry them out.

The 'aircraft search' part is going to be interesting - aircraft are private property of the airline and under the sole jurisdiction of the airline and the flight crew. Not even law enforcement can board an aircraft without either permission or probable cause to search.

Whereas many flight crews are TSA rah-rahs, I know quite a few who despise the TSA with an intense vengeance. It will be interesting to see how these haters react to a demand by a bunch of screeners to board and search their aircraft, which in all likelihood will delay boarding and departure, and ding the crew for being late.

Note to Hawley - drop the double-speak crap. More and more people are seeing through your charade every day and can smell your septic tank of an idea pool from a mile away. The more people whose buttons you and your staff push, the faster you'll be gone.
