SFO
 
I have a serious security issue I have been trying to point out to the authorities at SFO. I have been trying now for 6 weeks to contact someone. I have not had a reply to any of the faxes or emails I have sent. Does anyone know of an email address I can contact that can highlight a serious flaw in the security at this airport.

my email is [email protected] and I appreciate any advice that can be given

Ok, I know I was not going to post on here any more, but I have to get this out. SFO is NOT under the TSA yet. There was an agreement that a PRIVATE security company would provide screeners. If they fail to meet the federal standards, then TSA will take over. I suggest you contact the airport itself as TSA has no jurisdiction at SFO.

The legislation that set up the TSA permitted a small number of airports (3 or 5; can't recall) to continue using private security. This was the Democrats' one concession to the Republicans, who wanted all airports to operate that way. Anyway, I believe that SFO is the only large airport affected by this "experiment."

However, the FSD is a TSA employee (Edward Gomez). I have been told that management is also run by TSA to make sure federal policies and procedures are being upheld.
