Major U.S. Airports Consider Ditching TSA
Sixteen airports, including San Francisco and Kansas City International Airport, have already made the switch since 2002. One Orlando airport approved the change but still needs to select a contractor, and several others are reportedly seriously considering privatization.

I fail to see the difference between the two. We all know that it's the same system which doesn't work. A union thug is a union thug and either way it's my tax money they're wasting.
I'm always for competition, but this strikes me more like the beginings of a new sector for companies like Blackwater. I'd rather be up against some government TSA than a Blackwater thug, who can't be touched because he/she is a subcontractor.
ACLU won't allow it. Profiling of mentally ill patients, race, nationality. That kinda thing. There's been too many instances of baby's smuggling dynomite in their dolls and granny's with trace elements of this and that in their wheelchairs. Can't wait for my lead-lined pencil to set off an alarm. TSA: Excuse me sir, why do you need a radiation shield aboard an aircraft?
Why don't officials from US airports check out how Israel handles their security???
pamuth... I don't understand how the example gave shows that don't follow the same rules and procedures. An item in your pocket that doesn't set off the scanner doesn't mean that it's authorized. It just means that the scanner didn't detect it. Next time, try putting it in the tray with your keys and other metal objects and see if you get it back. I bet you don't.
Bob, I have been. :) And charters, but they're a little harder to justify cost-wise, of course.
You get what you pay for and don't you think that private contractors will be paid less. At least TSA employee's are well paid and seem to be responsive.. Nothing is going to change except the front line personnel and where will they come from (Off the streets) Get real. If getting patted down makes my flight safer for me and my family , Have at it..If all you cry babies don't like, take the train...
