Remember... the screeners are the end product of TSA's decision and execution skills... that's part of the problem. The bar as far as qualifications is set by TSA... a major part of the problem. Homeland Security may be above and beyond the capabilities of Ms. Napolitano... another part of the problem. Unqualified managers within Homeland Security and TSA??? big part of the problem too.
Solution???... Unions and airlines' Directors of Security, and pilot and F/A committees??? it's time to step up to the plate and play a key role in how our security as crews and passengers will be better managed rather than via knee jerk reactions.
Until then Board of Directors of the airlines must hold TSA’s feet held to the fire when cluster screw ups occur such as last night and Christmas day. TSA should bear the monetary cost for such gross negligence.
