2. Yippee for private contractors and union busting!

This singular post validates every conservative argument for market forces:

4. Union busting
 That's what this is 'bout, not passenger anger

Republicans want to re-privatize airport security because we all know it was better...


Now TSA better kick these ahem enhanced methods to the curb and use real standards that are proactive and effective and far less invasive. 

Yes, because if they don't people will vote with their dollars.

11. Totally worth it to hand millions to private contractors to not touch our privates!

And BONUS the potential to bust up a 50,000+ union organizing effort

We're Number One !!!111

Why would a private firm grab your junk if their predecessor was just fired for the same?

16. It's more privatization.
 It has nothing to do with the procedures adopted by the TSA because the private companies are still bound to follow those same procedures.

It's taking good paying federal jobs with benefits out of the equation and replacing them with unqualified, unaccountable private personnel who will be nothing but glorified mall cops.

Yay! federalized mall cops!

DUmmies just want to secure another Democrat voting block and ignore the fact we can no longer afford their vote buying schemes.  They'd rather go down on the Titanic than do anything to prevent it from striking the iceberg, because changing course might inconvenience them.  Stupid is a liberal policy.

Do these idiots realize that the TSA are NOT unionized?  At least not yet, but the rules have recently changed by this administration to allow them to  unionize.

Absolutely true and I will add there is nothing to stop such unionizing from occurring in private companies as well.

It's just them acting butt-hurt becasue a government agency is being repaced. It risks invalidating their claims to statism.

I think privatization is a 6 of one, half a dozen of the other situation, though.  The companies hired would likely be politically connected, and prevailing wage laws would apply in many of the cases.

Pretty much.

But that just illustrates my point all the more. The rank-and-vile DUmbasses are upset about their visions of statism being subverted.

Truth be told the jack-holes they vote for just want to pad their wallets, but the DUmbasses still want a super-state.
