52. Federalize Airport Security?
- www.mises.org
- Federalize Airline Security?.
- In the weeks following the terror attacks, calls have come from politicians and journalists to "federalize" airport security by making workers who screen passengers and baggage government employees. ...
- The Chattanooga Times, for example, writes that since private airlines seek profit, they cut costs anywhere they can, which means cutting back on security. ... Tony Blankley, Newt Gingrich's former top aide and now a media pundit, writes that we must give up our liberties if we are to have security.
- While it is impossible to document all of the government's failures that led to the murder of thousands of Americans, we can at least concentrate upon the proposal to make all airport security workers into GS_somethings. The entire Federal Aviation Administration's security package is already flawed, and "federalizing" the airport work force will only make things worse.
- To say that airlines are indifferent to the security needs of passengers and their crews is an obscene lie.
- Since the current system is designed and overseen by the FAA, it is silly to say that just changing the employment status of security workers will make airports safer. ... (My guess is that those now working airport security are no better or no worse at what they do than the rest of us would be. ...
- Unlike the pilot and flight attendant unions, which have a vested interest in the safety of their members, the one tool that these newly organized groups of security workers would have in their arsenal would be to compromise flight safety. ...
- With security workers, however, the dynamics are much different. ...
- One reason I believe that congressional Democrats want to federalize the airport workforce is precisely to increase their chances to become unionized. ... (Many current airport security employees are "temporary" workers who are not eligible for union membership. ...
- Furthermore, whether the airport workers are employed by Joe's Security Services or by the FAA does not change the fact that the current perimeter system is horribly flawed. While the uniforms on the security workers would be different, the fact that determined and even not-so-clever terrorists can find ways to smuggle weapons on board airplanes makes the whole discussion of employment almost pointless.
- (For example, the FAA recently forbade a pilot to carry fingernail clippers onto his own plane, something that eloquently demonstrates the absurdity of the agency's security practices. ...

- The task force concluded that airport security can be improved through the installation of biometric identification systems to track airport employees and control access to aircraft, the use of Global Positioning System (GPS) devices to monitor vehicles traveling in secure airport areas, cockpit monitoring and access technologies, and enhanced communications networks that would enable airport security personnel to more effectively communicate with one another and with law enforcement agencies. ...

- And who can blame you? I had the opportunity to view the state of affairs at Los Angeles International Airport this holiday season, not only as a beleaguered traveler being scanned, poked, and prodded like everyone else, but also as a member of the security apparatus that sprang into action at LAX with the raising of the terrorist-threat level. ...
- When the history of this war is written, perhaps we'll learn that some sinister plan of destruction was indeed foiled at the very last moment by a sharp-eyed security screener, that in the long run the added annoyances placed in the paths of ordinary travelers were a small price to pay for safety.
- At LAX, the plan seemed designed to present a facade of security to the traveling public while actually doing little to deter any terrorist with even a modest amount of initiative. Passenger cars were barred from curbside drop-offs and pick-ups in front of the terminals, forcing drivers into the already overcrowded parking lots and structures inside the airport. ...

The airlines handle the security-screening checkpoints for passengers, hiring contractors that often pay minimum wage for what are inherently boring and repetitive jobs. ...
- Everybody is responsible for airport security - which means nobody is really in charge. In response, some have called for creating a federal security service to take over passenger screening and possibly some other functions. ... (In fact, most federal security is also provided by relatively low-wage contract personnel. ) What's needed is a single point of responsibility at each airport, held accountable for every aspect of security.
