Top TSA Officials in Cheating Scandal Also Ran Private Consulting Firm
Very interesting stuff. As a Passenger who flew 85% of my time pre, during and post 9/11, I find this disgusting. But I have personally experienced in my small town airport, how easy it is to get through the system when you are known by everyone in the airport because of multiple flights a day sometimes…slipping through with makeup that should have been thrown away, hanging onto a pocket knife for me for a few days so I wouldn’t have to trash it. I did appreciate that as I am not threat, but a serious business traveler; however, I’m sure we have threats posing as such. My Father is the GM for a private airport and has been in aviation for over 20 yrs. He has one of the safest airports…IMO, besides FAA regulations, etc. airports should probably go into the private sector in order to control security, really control it. It’s the corruption of top Gov’t officials who cause events like 9/11, whether out of personal gain, power trips or just pure laziness. It’s disgusting. I will forward this article to every news outlet in hopes to bring this to TV news. It’s sad, because there are very qualified TSA staff who do thier job by the book and have integrity and who actually care about the safety of people traveling…but those are the TSA staff who have been personally effected by 9/11 or know someone who has been. It takes voices, lots of them; you can’t walk away from being wrongly fired without contacting the EEOC…there are LOTS of cases out there.
