re: #4 Kragar (Proud to be Kafir)

This is what happens when you make security worry more about providing low income jobs and affirmative action than worrying about actually security.

I clearly remember a long delay in putting the TSA into place at airports immediately following 9-11 because Democrats insisted on the employees being union workers. The Republicans were concerned that that would make it impossible to fire anyone for incompetence. The Democrats won IIRC, proving that politics and power trumps safety.
