I haven't flown in about a month, so I'm not sure when the exact change took place, but I wasn't sure it was ever going to happen at PBI since they were certainly among the last to use the contractors. The old ID checkers at PBI were extremely friendly and very efficient. Never at an off peak time like a Friday afternoon would there ever be a line for ID checks. Today as I approached, I saw that all but one of the red-uniformed contract ID checkers were all gone. The purpose of the one who was still there was questionable at best. In addition to seeing TSA doing the ID checks...guess what else there was for the first time in years by the ID checks....a LOOOOONG line. Thanks Chertoff and Kippie. Thanks for not only making me waste 10 minutes of my life that I wouldn't have had to two weeks ago, thanks for putting some decent people out of a job only to replace it with your tax payer funded bureaucracy.

Sorry about that...rant off.
