On all things considered, they mentioned the long lines and waits, then immediately started praising one Texas airport that was privatized, and didn’t have those waits.
The TSA is nothing more than security theater anyways, but we gotta find ways to funnel money into those pockets already flush with it I guess.
Blackwater. But let’s be real, the gov only has the illusion of oversight. In practice most war criminals never face legitimate consequences. The American military industrial complex is the largest terrorist org that has existed since WW2.
Yeah, they didn’t have waits because the private company is paying their workers, so they show up to do the job. TSA isn’t getting paid, so 40+% aren’t showing up.
Once upon a time I would’ve thought privatization would be a surefire winner. Now the full-body scan data would probably go to some AI company, they’ll profile the shit out of people with their “proprietary algorithms” we’re not allowed to audit, and every agent will be a white male suddenly making twice what the old TSA agents were making.
