We have far too many airports and far too few "smart young people" willing to be in Governement service. also, don't know if you remember, but the brave Democratic congress made sure TSA was ruled by government employment rules. So don't talk about our "level of warm comfort with little real security" as being tied at all to anything other than your union lobbys.

It's the question of rules vs. discretion, Hank. If you were awake in the first year of law school, you may remember the issue. It probably came up when your friends in Pennypacker were shooting the shit late at night.
If you give people a meaningful job, pay them better, and give them a chance to make a difference, you'll get interest in the job. TSA offers none of those things right now.
And you correctly remember that the terms of employment at DHS were an issue, but you are wrong about how it ended up. The GOP won on that one. And yet TSA isn't exactly a model bureaucracy. Go figure.
