Orlando airport wants TSA out

[dogtowner]

reapplying for opt out now that Congress helped the process

Orlando lives and dies on tourism, I can understand how badly they want them out,

One of America’s busiest airports, Orlando Sanford International, has announced it will opt out of using TSA workers to screen passengers, a move which threatens the highly unpopular federal agency’s role in other airports across the nation.


“The president of the airport said Tuesday that he would apply again to use private operators to screen passengers, using federal standards and oversight,” reports the Miami Herald.

With Sanford International having originally been prevented by the TSA from opting out back in November 2010 when the federal agency froze the ability for airports to use their own private screeners, a law passed by the Senate last month forces the TSA to reconsider applications.

If every airport did this, perhaps some sanity could be restored.

We all want them out every airport. The answer is let local police handle the security. You dont see TSA at ballparks to keep the fans safe do you? You dont see TSA at shopping malls kepp shoppers safe do you? The Police handles all that and its working.

Give them time. They have already put in showings at train stations and bus stations, and have some sort of mobile scanner they have been out with.

We dont want them in. Look they do innopropreate touching and Harrassment. Just ask Rand Paul how they harassed him. You gotta stand up to them. Like that guy said if you touch my privates ill have you arrested.

Look how Israel handling security. They do it by profiling. Like when before you buy a ticket you go though a questioning process. If they think youre a threat to security you wont be able to buy a ticket nor you wont get on that plane.
