We're stuck with the same old dummies at the airport

2001-12-30

After stoking high expectations that the federal takeover of airport security would lead to a new breed of airport security screener, one who was better educated and more qualified to assume a position of increased responsibility, the Department of Transportation has decided not to impose rules that would displace thousands of current screeners. Most significantly, the department will not insist that screeners be high school graduates, a requirement that would have disqualified a quarter of the present work force of 28,000.
Ummm... What was the advantage to making them civil servants again? You mean, we're stuck with the same people we had, both competent and in-, and now we can't get rid of the deadwood? You outta your mind, Roscoe? It doesn't take a high school diploma to figure what kind of a move that is.
