>> <a href='http://politics.videosift.com/talk/Who-benefits-over-the-TSA-controversy?loadcomm=1#comment-1107910'>^NetRunner</a>: 
Yeah, that pretty much sums up how I feel about having the people on the right "join" us. I was happy at first when I noticed that liberal complaints about the TSA that had gone completely ignored were all of a sudden getting national media attention...until I noticed that this was another case of the national media pimping the latest right-wing outrage, not really paying attention to the civil liberties aspect at all. After all, I haven't really seen much mainstream reporting that did anything more than say "see, it's invasive, and maybe there's abuse too, but the officials deny both charges", rather than "we talked to ACLU and Constitutional scholars, and they argue it's a violation of the 4th amendment..." PS: Amanda Marcotte of <a rel="nofollow" href="http://pandagon.net">pandagon.net</a> got published in the Guardian? That's pretty cool.

Did you see the post Blank had where the guy just flat out says we are <a href="http://videosift.com/video/Former-TSA-Director-Admits-They-Break-4th-Amendment">violating your 4th amendments rights</a>...now sit down and shut up....I might be paraphrasing a bit.

Also, while I understand that "privatization" of security seems right wing, but isn't it more akin to how security works most everywhere else?  Bouncers aren't state employees, or even certified that I know of.  While police and military are, I don't see their job primarily as security but as law enforcement and war machine respectively.  Just because it has a corporate backing doesn't necessarily make it the bad choice, just as long as they don't get to write the new law regulating their competition out of business, which is, unfortunately, likely to happen given the current state (unless Washington grows some scruples in the next couple of years...I won't hold my breath).

What if the airports hired COPS with police dogs and were 100X more effective in ever measurable way?  Surely, if every Air port had their own security team making decisions, you would end up with a variety of tested solutions that other airports would copy, adapt, and master in time...like everything else in life, right?
