Why don’t airlines just pay for it
That’s more-or-less how it was done prior to 9/11. Back then each airport contracted with their own security companies, and that would have been paid from fees the airports collect from the airlines.
And if anyone recalls post 9/11 when looking to hire people for the new TSA to work at airports they thought they should just rehire the people already doing security. The background checks found undisclosed criminal records, people not legal to work in the US, and other falsified records.
We don’t need privatization of security any more than we need privatization of other public services. They charge more and enshittify while the contracted service makes bank off the taxpayer.
When business travelers and wealthy tourists start to really be inconvenienced, Democrats will cave on any policy stance.
Don’t know why I didn’t realize it before but Republicans care about power, whereas Democrats care about money. Similar but slightly different.
Republicans would be the smarter of those two arrangements, as they’re demonstrating today.
Power > Money. With power, you can change the rules of money, like they’re doing right now.
With enough power nobody can stop you from taking all the money.
You know whose concerns I literally could not care less about? Airline CEOs’.
If only more people donated gift cards for the poor TSA agents… /s
Boycott the world cup btw.
