Rep. Mica, author of TSA legislation, sez airports can opt out of TSA screening
Heh heh. Mica is quite disappointed by how his legislation has created such a monster that he never envisioned. He's even called it a Kabuki dance himself, and that the TSA just humiliates passengers. He has written a letter to over 150 major airports to let them know about the opt-out clause in the legislation, and recommending that they consider doing so in favor of private security, which has been shown to do somewhat better than the TSA has been doing.

Says Mica: "It's not an Israeli model, it's a TSA, screwed-up model. It should actually be the person who's looking at the ticket and talking to the individual. Instead, they've hired people to stand around and observe, which is a bastardization of what should be done."
