I say go for it. The airlines currently pay for it, and we see where it has gotten us. The workers are underpaid and probably not well-trained.
The only problems I really see with the Feds doing airport security are these:
--This would be another thing for the government to centrally control, which is a no-no in the Republican Book of Values. It's adds to the fed's locus of control.
--You either have to hire new people or bring the current people aboard as FEDERAL employees. Good for them b/c it would give them better pay and benefits. Bad b/c a) the government may not want to spend that money and b) the people currently working those jobs could lose them b/c the government does not see it fit to retrain them.
Notice how much money has been laid out in the past month and a half by the US government? Obviously, these were "unforeseeable" expenses, but I see deficits again in our future. Didn't the new government budget just start October 1?
