It seems that DHS/TSA no longer is ambivalent about private security for airports.
Yup. It’s all about controlling the folks. Er, it’s all about control, folks.
But on Friday, the TSA denied an application by Springfield-Branson Airport in Missouri to privatize its checkpoint workforce, and in a statement, Pistole indicated other applications likewise will be denied.
“I examined the contractor screening program and decided not to expand the program beyond the current 16 airports as I do not see any clear or substantial advantage to do so at this time,” Pistole said.
Yeah. He’s a pistol, all right. High caliber? Nah, not so much.
