Remember the flap over the airport security screeners and whether they should be replaced with more qualified (in any sense of the word) personnel to help protect our homeland? Unions mounted a fight and won. The end result of that 'reform' was to convert their status from nothing to federal employees.
At the time the proponents for a personnel shift said that making an incompetent employee a federal employee would do nothing to keep us safer. This article finally proves the point, and we have the selfish short-sighted unions to thank for that. Well, to be fair, you can also thank the spaghetti spined republicans in the administration for conceeding to them. Also, let us not forget that Bill Clinton put Al Gore in charge of airport security during his administration. This whitewash was just that. I think we can say that that plan was also an utter failure, especially in Boston on 9/11/2001.
AP: Reports to Say Airport Baggage Screening Still Poor. Upcoming government reports will say the quality of luggage examinations at airports has not improved since before the Sept. 11 attacks. By foxnewsonline@foxnews.com. [FOXNews.com - Politics]
