Ah so the GOP wants to privatize the evil TSA

[nadinbrzezinski]

But listen up, all procedures will remain in place...

You think it will be better under minimum wage workers?

1. HALLIBURTON! Obvious choice - they gave us *SUCH* a great deal on Iraq!

NOBODY knows how to fuck everybody six ways from Sunday better than Halliburton! Such an obvious choice.

3. I was actually thinking Wackenhut

They had the contracts before 911 and been lobbying for years to get them back...it is a very profitable contract and the cost to the Feds will be higher... Ca-ching!!!!

[HopeHoops]

8. Wackenhut sounds like a porn shop.

[nadinbrzezinski]

9. It is one of the oldest rent a cop outfits

At one time they wanted presidential duty, which the Pinkertons handled...another one that wants the contracts. They are also infamous for murdering union organizers.

10. I should have clarified. I was aware of that, but the name just makes me giggle.

I'm 47 but still an adolescent at heart.

2. Republicans would like to see a corporate army to enforce corporate mandates.

[nadinbrzezinski]

5. Republicans hate we the people

The rep even discouraged the opt out, we hate this but work with us. Orwell would be proud.

4. Funny isn't it

It's a big deal for the GOP right now, although all those years Bush was in charge it didn't bother them one bit, and now they are screaming their heads off, "BUT" as long as it's done by "PRIVATE" firms, like the former Blackwater I assume, it will be OK even though the only change is some "corporation" will be making millions off of the same procedure! It never amazes me just how "obvious" the right wing is when it comes to trying to give their corporate masters more money!

[nadinbrzezinski]

7. And eight or so companies will be easier to penetrate

Making us actually less safe...

As much as this is theater the limited cargo checks will also be silently be scrapped.

6. Who better than a private contractor....

to fondle your privates?

:evilgrin:

[WestSeattle2]

11. It was privatized prior to 9-11; it was their exalted leader at the

time who created the Homeland Security bureaucracy which spawned Satan's child, the TSA.

:evilgrin:

[nadinbrzezinski]

12. And Republicans want to go back to thar

Also there were major holes in security...

Today there are a lot less holes...and I gotta ask where is the tinfoil.

Oh and these latest procedures are over the top...and K-9 works.
