Thank you for preventing the appointment of Erroll Southers to head of TSA, leaving the security of our nation’s airways leaderless during this critical time. One can only imagine how the security of our nation’s airports would be in the hands of unionized “lifer” professionals, with full benefits and a high incentive for a high performance. Instead, I feel much more comfortable knowing that the security of our nation’s airports lie in the hands of under-paid, no-benefits transitional workers who seek little incentive except finding a better job that could provide for their families. So, kudos Senator! Its quite clear that you hold the safety of airlines in high importance- or you would if you actually flew them opposed to lobbyist-provided corporate jets.
And a thank you also needs to go out to the 108 House Republicans who voted against the $4 billion of “wasteful government spending” in the Department of Homeland Security appropriations bill that would have gone towards updating and improving, including $1.1 billion for explosives detection systems. Thank you for being so concerned about the safety of our money as opposed to, you know, our actual physical safety.
