Orlando Sanford International Airport trying to boot TSA in favor of private security company [View all]
Note: This County is so ethically challenged, that it's a mistake to allow them to take over anything of this magnitude. IMHO.
The federal government Monday gave Orlando Sanford International Airport permission to seek bids from private security companies that would screen passengers before they boarded a flight.
Relying on a new aviation law, managers of the small airport west of Sanford have been pushing since February to start the process that could result in the federal Transportation Security Administration being replaced with a private force.
Months likely will pass before a final decision is made, but airport president Larry Dale said he is confident he can find a company that will provide the same services as – if not better than – TSA and at a cheaper price.
The key to going private, TSA spokeswoman Sari Koshetz said in an email, is to "not compromise security or detrimentally affect the cost-efficiency or the effectiveness of the screening of passengers or property at the airport."
