Listening to John Mica on Fox News yammering on and on about how we need private business to do TSA duties. He says the private security businesses campaign contributions have nothing to do with his yammering. Yet, when asked about whether specific procedures & equipment should be shelved, he waffles, won’t answer specifically and starts talking about needing private companies again. Proving he’s in bed with the private companies, he won’t specify what methods should or shouldn’t go, so if the private companies start they can do anything they want. Including full body scans. Only when a private company becomes the arm of Government, the taxpayers can’t complain to the private business, because they are private. If you go to the politician, then they don’t want to do anything for fear of losing campaign contributions. Mica has done this in the past.
I’ve seen myself how MUCH, MUCH more expensive and less effective private companies are than citizen accountable government workers. Sure Government workers can be lazy slugs. But you can fid their supervisor, or Commissioner, or Mayor, etc. With a private company they just finger point back to the Government who hired them. I’ve gone or seen others go to Government folks to complain and watch as they typically point back to the private company. It’s also a way where the everyone can say it’s everyone else’s fault … and be right!
John Mica has been and still is a lousy bug out to steal our tax money to pay off his contributor buddies. Shame this “RINO” was voted back in. I can only hope Tea Party folks target him next time.
