#2 I thought I remembered that back in the early days of 2001-2002, when TSA was being formed -- didn't everyone promise they would never be unionized?

Must be those "faulty memories" Winston Smith was talking about.

#3 Just another example of unions strangling and sucking the life blood out of our country.

#4 Unions have served their purpose, but now they are the weight that is dragging this country into poverty and stagnation. They need to be destroyed and their power broken.

#6 "The nation is secure in the sense that the safety of our skies will not be left in the hands of the lowest-bidder contractor, as it was before 9/11"

To imply that 9/11 was the result of private security is beyond dishonest. And personally, I would rather have a low bidder contractor who actually does the job instead of "who gives a crap?" unremovable union employees.

#7 "The nation is secure in the sense that the safety of our skies will not be left in the hands of the lowest-bidder contractor, as it was before 9/11"

In essence, doesn't the government get away with the lowest bid process for the [non-unionized] military. They raise and lower bonuses to argument base pay to attract just enough people to fill the ranks?

#8 My gut instinct tells me that we are at a tipping point in this country regarding socialism and unions. When it tips public opinion will shift against them hard and even the good will applied to cops, firemen and teachers won't protect them from harsh feelings because of their unions.

#9 From the supposed low-bid contractor (yeah, sure) to the final, no-bid contractor. And you'd better not criticize their policies.

#10 Question

Betcha they'll say no, an thousands of lawyers will say YES, HELL YES.
