#1 The article itself isn't focused on the real problem because it wanders around instead of getting to the point, so I'll make it clear:

LESS THAN HALF of the TSA employees were actually working on "Transportation Security". The rest were paper pushers "working" for their union.

*Your* tax money funded this madness, and nobody gave a damn until now.

#2 But, but... The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents TSOs, has pushed back on DHS’ claims, saying TSOs who volunteer as union representatives account for less than half a percent of all work hours performed at TSA

There's a clever lie buried in that particular phrasing.

#4 I have supervised in both union and non-union facilities over the years. Both can be efficient. It is more difficult to get rid of poor performers in a union shop. Market conditions and management cowardice can also make discharging poor performers problematic. The priorities and interests of union hierarchies above the shop steward level often diverge from the interests of the union membership. As a taxpayer, my primary interest is in not being blown up. My secondary interest is in not getting ripped off. In this case I don’t have a problem with eliminating the union for TSA. I would also like to see TSA managed effectively. Luckily, the FAA currently is making TSA look well managed.
