Take away the liability that TSA protects them from and give them the choice and see who chooses what.

5 airports were also chosen for comparison purposes to compare how TSA and contractors can fare. Of course, there isn't much difference when they all have to play the same TSA idiocy, but they're generally more customer service oriented as they CAN lose the contract.
