No problem! As Alfred E. Neuman always asked, “What, me worry?”
Privatize it and direct a sweet government contract to a Trump crony who likely isn’t qualified to provide the service, who employs a bunch of cheap unqualified workers who are banned from unionizing to save money.
Bet they double the cost of PreCheck while they’re at it.
There. I made it make sense.
While we’re at it, time to privatize the USPS.
Amazon, UPS, and Fedx have all three perfected how to make things work. TSA could do the same if run like a business, not an entitlement program.
None of those organizations are mandated to deliver every package or letter everywhere for a price fixed by the government.
It’s apples and oranges.
Yeah, we could bring in as Postmaster General someone from a competitor in private industry, someone with absolutely no experience in the USPS. We could turn him loose to make the changes he thought best.
Oh wait, we did that. Our current PMG is such a person…Mr. DeJoy. And we’ve seen what’s become of the Post Office since he took office. Have a package coming to or from Indy? give it an extra week or two…his new facility in Indy can’t handle the volume…
A TSA employee working at a small regional airport in a northern plains state once told me he and many of his co-workers were planning to leave. I asked why, and his response was something like: no other job in the civilian world requires you to look at an x-ray screen, see something you don’t recognize, and then open up the package, which could contain either a bomb or just something harmless. Lots of stress. And lots of obnoxious people coming through security. That was before the Biden raises.
Let’s see what happens when Trusk and Mumps and their MAGAts and MUSKrats cause a significant reduction in staffing, and new, lower wages. It’s bad enough some days at the airport; I’m sure fewer employees with lower morale will only make it a better experience.
