How did voting in the 2020 election work with the ballots being counted by a “ private “ contractor in Germany ! Although your article is longer than a role of toilet paper it simply says bureaucracy doesn’t work , so let’s move on to privatizing the TSA and replace it with what ? As. Michael Collins once said when on the back side of the moon and looking at his instrument panel … The. Low. Bidder. Got. The. Job !!! There are problems with the TSA no question about that but the biggest problem. IS THE DEMOCRATS IN. CONGRESS WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS MESS ! The. TSA WORKER SHOULDN’T. be the. Sacrificial Lamb. Here. DEMOCRATS ARE THE FAULT FOR THIS MESS !
Spot on again! Of course security at airports should be privatized. Hopefully if that does happen, DEI hires will be a thing of the past. I haven't travelled in a while but I always found the TSA agents to be rude and condescending. Give a low-life a little power....
TSA has been a turd circling our toilet for many, many years now. The lever needs to be pushed, and their replacements need to be non union with no strike agreements.
The problem is, someone or some ‘company’ in/devised INDIA will be put in charge of it now. India seems to have invade our nation, they own trucking companies and are responsible for putting illegal drivers in those semi’s. A neighbor of mine owns a trucking company.
India is the one reopening the oil rig in Texas, not AMERICANS.
That’s the whole point: PRIVATIZE the TSA. Good squads for hire, using our taxpayers dollars, and I.D. checkers with latex gloves paid by billionaires. Easily switched to fascist goons at will, since privatized.
TSA, like the COVID shutdown, were governmental psyops to increase obedience to government in the general public. That’s it. These expensive exercises in mass control were of no demonstrable benefit to the general public. If highjackings were a credible threat, an intelligent approach would have meant a combination of deep profiling, random sample inspections and interviews, and improved, unobtrusive security threat surveillance. El Al airlines shows how it’s done. We already have an institution which knows how to do all these things. It’s called the FBI. But, no, instead we got a malevolent theatrical production which satisfies no one. The only way the TSA makes sense is to see it as a psyop designed to groom the population through fear and submission. The terrorists won, because our craven behavior proves that we treasure our freedoms so little.
I agree 100% what is started on a good and arguable necessity has become another opportunity to see in real time an over bloated inefficient program gasping for survival. The idea of a partnership or letting someone who knows how to run an effecient company run this organization like a “for profit” business. There were seasons where I had to fly regularly and because of a medical condition was required to bring water with me on the plane. Most of the people with TSA were helpful enough but after the first time of “the process” of having my water container “checked” I knew the routine and would direct the agents on what to do to expedite the process. This was also after obtaining the TSA pre check status.

Elon Musk was never going to pay any workers. This is an offer he’s made before, and he never pays.
I was waiting for you to mention air traffic controllers…
If Congress cannot keep the government open, then no one in Congress should get paid. https://torrancestephensphd.substack.com/p/put-your-money-where-your-mouth-is

The private sector is more efficient than the government bureaucracy? Surprise! Surprise!

We don’t need no stinkin’ oversight……….do we?
End the TSA!
A Libertarian candidate for Congress will be linking to this on his website.
"It was always, at its core, a bureaucratic arrangement optimized for self-perpetuation, not performance."
Like so many other gubmint bureaucracies!
