The TSA is not going to let anyone on it's turf

I gotta say I didn't know of the Screening Partnership Program...and I'm not surprised that the Obama regime doesen't like it. Not that we cannot

Washington (CNN) -- A program that allows airports to replace government screeners with private screeners is being brought to a standstill, just a month after the Transportation Security Administration said it was "neutral" on the program.

TSA chief John Pistole said Friday he has decided not to expand the program beyond the current 16 airports, saying he does not see any advantage to it.

Though little known, the Screening Partnership Program allowed airports to replace government screeners with private contractors who wear TSA-like uniforms, meet TSA standards and work under TSA oversight. Among the airports that have "opted out" of government screening are San Francisco and Kansas City.

The push to "opt out" gained attention in December amid the fury over the TSA's enhanced pat downs, which some travelers called intrusive.
Rep. John Mica, a Republican from Florida, wrote a letter encouraging airports to privatize their airport screeners, saying they would be more responsive to the public.

...Pistole said he has been reviewing TSA policies with the goal of helping the agency "evolve into a more agile, high-performance organization."

Again, we're dealing with a bureaucracy and they have only one purpose. To exist. Performance is not in the equation. Need I say more:

..."The nation is secure in the sense that the safety of our skies will not be left in the hands of the lowest-bidder contractor, as it was before 9/11," said John Gage, president of the American Federation of Government Employees. "We applaud Administrator Pistole for recognizing the value in a cohesive federalized screening system and work force."

Right...a overpaid unionized work force where it's almost impossible to fire an incompetent employee is supposed to stop someone who is committed to kill Americans so much he is willing to die himself. I would like to mention to this union chief that the TSA in its entire life has not found one terrorist. Those that have been found were caught by simple good police work.

This harassment of Americans is not law enforcement or is it securing our travel. It's only justifying many a worthless job.
