Following the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, governments across the world increased airport security, and rightly so. But in a hasty overreaction to that tragic day, Congress gave the job of screening passengers and baggage to a new federal agency: the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). As a result, taxpayers pay for more than 48,000 airport security screeners and TSA has requested nearly $8.2 billion in funding for 2011.
Creating the massive bureaucracy was a mistake. Even though the quality of airport screening was low before Sept. 11, it was not a failure of the "rent-a-guard" screeners that let those 19 terrorists board planes "armed" with box cutters. Those "weapons" were perfectly legal at the time. The real failure was one of policy, which didn't make use of passenger history and law enforcement information that should have flagged most of the terrorists as suspicious characters who warranted enhanced scrutiny.
Even with today's bloated TSA, that problem still exists. Consider that our various intelligence agencies failed to share vital information, and a suspected terrorist, the underwear bomber, was allowed to board—and tried to blow up—an international flight bound for Detroit on Christmas. Thankfully, the Obama administration last week took some needed steps to help fix this problem.
Following Sept. 11, most other countries increased their standards for airport security by letting each airport implement its own procedures under government supervision. In Europe, that led to nearly all major airports hiring certified private security firms to do their screening. Canada created a new federal agency to implement better screening but outsourced the actual screening. This kind of high-performance contracting permits better training and airport-specific flexibility (e.g., higher pay scales in Canada's jobs-rich oil patch) and it better matches screener numbers to changing travel patterns and airport passenger levels.
In contrast, the system Congress and the George W. Bush administration created came with a massive conflict of interest: TSA serves as both the aviation-security regulator and the provider of key security. Who's watching the watchmen? When it comes to baggage and passenger screening, TSA is regulating itself. As with any bureaucracy, its natural incentive is to hide errors and make itself look good. In addition to the obvious conflict of interest, this also makes for fragmented airport security.
Consider that airport perimeters, air cargo and other aspects of security are not operated and managed by TSA, but by airports. This lack of cohesion can create security gaps. In Europe, each airport is directly responsible for every aspect of its security, under strict government oversight.
The other mistake of the Bush administration and Congress was to let general taxpayers get stuck with well more than half the cost of airport security. Canada's security ticket tax pays for 100 percent of airport security. In most European countries, a combination of airport charges to airlines and security taxes on tickets covers the complete cost of airport security.
Those who object to making airlines and passengers pay the full cost will argue that protecting against terrorism is like national defense, for which everyone properly pays via general taxes. However, many taxpayers never fly, and numerous others rarely fly. Airlines and frequent travelers like me get far more benefits from aviation security, and we should be paying the costs.
So now what?
First, TSA should be divested of its airport screening duties. TSA should regulate and oversee security, but each airport should be responsible for all aspects of its security (passenger and baggage screening, perimeter security, etc). Airports would be free to hire their own security forces or contract with TSA-certified firms.
Second, the cost of airport security should be paid for by those who use airports: a combination of airlines and passengers. This change would cut billions from the federal budget, eliminating the large portion of airport security costs not covered by current airport or airline security taxes. It also would make the costs of airport security more visible to airlines and travelers.
If these two changes are made, they will put much-needed scrutiny on the expensive, one-size-fits-all airport screening procedures in place now. Giving airports control over their security and moving to a more risk-based approach to passenger screening might well cut the cost of airport screening in half. It also would focus more attention on high-risk passengers like those we should have spotted on Sept. 11.

If we are going to create a good prison planet we have to do it slowly.
Now we can sned our righthand puppets in to propose "privatising" these government serivces...of course the contracts will just go to our companies that hire the same workers....but this will make republicans feel like they are winning...or we can have the democrat puppets expalin the need for higher paid workers....win/win...either way we get our slave state as this thing of beauty spreads.

Norman Mailer once said he believed the United States, in its endless pursuit of war and domination, had entered a "pre-fascist era." Mailer seemed tentative, as if trying to warn about something even he could not quite define. "Fascism" is not right, for it invokes lazy historical precedents, conjuring yet again the iconography of German and Italian repression. On the other hand, American authoritarianism, as the cultural critic Henry Giroux pointed out recently, is "more nuance, less theatrical, more cunning, less concerned with repressive modes of control than with manipulative modes of consent."

Barney Frank has enemies, even 30,000 feet in the air.
Flying back to Boston from LA yesterday, the congressman was assailed by a pair of ophthalmologists upset about the health care reform bill. An argument ensued that prompted some passengers to wonder if the plane might be forced to land.
"No one was calming things down and people were standing up shouting," said Brooke Sexton, who was seated seven rows behind Barney.
Accustomed as he is to being conservatives's favorite bad guy, Frank mostly ignored the doctors's taunts, Sexton said, but the congressman's partner, Jim Ready, did not.

Gonna have to disagree with that one, at least in the context it's being used. Most Americans, and especially politicians, actually do expect and believe that all government agencies can/do perform well. And at the very least they believe they can be changed to perform well. In general, a lot of people simply do not grasp the intention/actual-consequence dichotomy; that's how so many people get swayed into liberalism.

My flight from Milwaukee to New York was delayed partially because of a "security issue" at LA's airport (the plane we were to board was the one coming in from LA), in which the TSA shut down a gate for three hours. I am going to make a guess from the thousands of incidents where the federal government overreacts to law-abiding travelers that this incident was probably someone sneaking in some cocoa or something in their carry-on bags and the feds went apeshit. So they switch to another plane that just landed, which still needed an hour to clean; then when our delayed plane arrived in NY, the gate was occupied and we sat on the tarmac for another thirty minutes.
Easiest way to increase customer service in the airline industry: get rid of federal government presence on security. Due to the pattern of overreaction to trivial matters and the consistent idea of "err on the side of safety", flights are delayed and/or canceled, or at least everybody has to wait longer to get to their destination.

Let's see:
1) I was subjected to terrorist screening -- pat downs with arms outspread, then run through the bomb testing equipment that hit me with puffs of air to see if I was carrying plastic explosives -- because my driver's license had expired.
2) I was pulled over for the pat down thing because I was carrying a national magazine that had the word "Islam" on big letters on the cover, and I gave the screener stinkeye.
3) My lugguge was pulled out and held up for three days, with most everything I needed for daily living, because I was carrying home about 20 pounds of spices from New Orleans, and apparently the TSA thought I was carrying drugs or bombs or both.
And I don't even have brown skin or look Mideastern. I can only imagine how shabbily such suspects are treated by our prison guards in the TSA.

There are some cases where I prefer having the gov't involved, especially when FOIA might be useful. If the private TSA decides to violate some woman's privacy (or whatever) what could you do about it? They'd have a government contract and would be untouchable by the invisible hand until that expired. In that case, the only difference between the TSA and a private screener is FOIA and more accountability.
I guess if you want to bump it down to state and local authorities, that could work.
Colonel_Angus|4.13.10 @ 2:55PM|#
Just get rid of the government contract part. Private guards would be more accountable for things like assault, and the consumers would have more power in responding to bad security policies.
kinnath|4.13.10 @ 3:01PM|#
No government contract. The airlines would provide security at their own gates or subcontract with someone else to do it. Maintaining security is no different that maintaining the aircraft itself.

And I don't even have brown skin or look Mideastern. I can only imagine how shabbily such suspects are treated by our prison guards in the TSA.
I'm easily mistakable for "some kinda Arab or something." Male air security guys tough-face me a lot (because they're short), and female ones seem to want me to try some shifty shit so they can call in dudes to shoot me, but that's typical cop behavior. Since I don't do anything interesting while I'm in line, it never escalates. And I'm the only person on earth with my name, so I'm not accidentally on any suspect-character search lists.
Pre-TSA, I got "randomly" over-scrutinized at the airport more than I do now. That's probably a coincidence. Some people get hassled more now. But overall, I doubt the TSA goons are any worse than the other goons were. They're the same goons, aren't they? Mostly. They just get paid more now.

But overall, I doubt the TSA goons are any worse than the other goons were. They're the same goons, aren't they?
No, the TSA is much more obnoxious than the screeners we had pre-9/11, based on my interactions with them.
The TSA is much less accountable. If a private airport screener acts badly, you can protest to the airport. If the TSA acts badly, you gotta take it up with goons in DC.
|4.13.10 @ 3:23PM|#
Your not going to get the government out of airport screening. At best you will have a private entity having to live by the same rules and probably procedures.

Why not make the crew actually flying responsible for safety? Their lives are at stake too so they'll probably do a good job. Let them use whatever methods they deem necessary. Passengers could then choose between carriers with full-body screening and those that just profile.

The airport, carriers, cities, and stockholders would NEVER submit to that tremendous cost! Your level of security as a frequent flyer would drop
to unexceptable levels and you would have additional planes falling from the sky. Your promoting such an idea endangers the lives of the flying and non-flying public.

TSA have a difficult task as it is and just a few bad apples makes the experience unbearable of everyone else. I try my best to avoid Airports if I can.

This is what happens when you let poor people fly on airplanes.

Great read. The TSA does need to be reformed, and I agree that it would better serve us as a regulatory body, allowing the airports themselves (with the airlines and passengers supplementing, of course) pay for the actual guards to do the regulating.

I disagree w/ most of your comments because they are factually incorret. As a former employee of TSA I know what is required to maintain the level of training and testing necessary to protect the flying public. You do not.

We can see how strict the security in airport is. It is one of the precautionary measures that government do to avoid the attacks of terrorism. They do after on the safety of the people on the place.

Easiest way to boost customer service within the airline sector: get rid of authorities presence in security. Because of the pattern involving overreaction to trivial matters as well as the consistent concept of "err on the side of safety", travel arrangements are delayed and/or canceled, or at least everybody has got to wait longer to get to their destination.
