Gary Becker, Nobel Laureate in economics, writes:
Incidentally, since I believe private security usually performs very well, I never was convinced by the arguments to federalize employees who search baggage at airports. Private companies would do the job better than a single (monopoly) government employer if the standards of performance were clearly set by the government agency in charge of airport security. As in other sectors, a considerable advantage of private employees over federal government employees would result from the competition of different security companies for the business of providing airport security. I would expect competition among companies to have produced more innovation and greater efficiency in airport security checks than we have received, or will get, with federal employees.

The answer is simple; Job Security, Jobs.
When it comes to anything major, the democrats ALWAYS think that the government can do a better job.
It’s a trade off, In order for the President to get
REAL SECURITY in Airports he had to trade the jobs part.
Everything in Washington D.C. is a Battle Royal, but we got some really good restaurants around here.
Also if you get off the Capitol South Metro train station,
You will be right up there on the Hill.
But there is just one thing that I’m curious about; What is the cholesterol level of the people working at the Longsworth, Rayburn, Senate, Old Executive Office Building.
By the way; I did figure out how the democrats plan on destroying the Republicans? By feeding us the food from the
“OLD EXECUTIVE OFFICE BUILDING CAFERTERIA”.
Before anyone jumps all over the Argenbright Security pre-9/11 story, let’s remember that no one (least of all the Feds) was taking security seriously. If a customer doesn’t demand and assess the performance of a contractor, then the customer (in this case, the Feds) must share the blame.
There was even a EEOC lawsuit in which Argenbright dismissed some Muslim women from its workforce for wearing Islamic grab, but the EEOC forced Argenbright to rehire them. What kind of message does this send a contractor?
It wasn’t that they weren’t taking it seriously, it’s that Democrat politics was involved in the formation of information by which the feds tried to interpret incomplete
Reports.
As to your other part?
As you are well aware Part of the War on Terror is in on how we balance Muslim philosophical values, With the American philosophical view point of others in the work force as well as in daily life.
