After months of exploration, Sacramento International Airport has decided to replace federally-employed Transportation Security Administration (TSA) airport screeners with private contractors. This is an opt-out I support.

As a compromise to House Republicans over a decade ago, language in the act creating the TSA allowed for airports to choose to hire private contractors to conduct airport screening rather than the TSA directly. These private contractors were held to the same ...

This is an old story, but one I have been meaning to highlight for the last two weeks. Should a pilot have spoken up when he heard a Transportation Security Officer (TSO) using filthy language while in costume or just minded his own business? That's not an easy question to answer.

...[A] Transportation Security Administration screener was arrested at New York JFK for allegedly "hurling a cup of hot coffee at an American Airlines pilot who told her and some colleagues to tone down a ...

I had a 5:25a United flight to the Houston on Saturday morning and since the first train from 30th St Station in Philadelphia does not leave until 4:34a (22 minute journey to airport) and more importantly, because I can never sleep before such an early flight, I decided to head to the airport late Friday night.

Information regarding the placement of CLEAR at DFW has not yet been published, although an email to all members has said that they're hoping to be online by the Spring, which should mean that we'll know more in the coming weeks. Additionally, the talks with the SFO airport ...

TSA’s Iraqi Information Minister, Blogger Bob, addressed the new video “making its way around the interwebs” about why full body scanners actually make us less safe. His words were telling. Let’s go through them, one sentence at a time.

Even if the video was crude (as in not professionally produced), it did not “allegedly” show how ...
