@HOWGOZIT – I think smaller airports will have fewer delays because their security check-ins are not as long as major airports. Think what will happen in 10 lines are dropped to 8 at Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas, LA, NY.
Interesting that folks today don’t remember at all that Reagan did the same exact thing, with a different “title” back when he cut budgets and called for “RIF” (reduction in force) to try getting rid of a bunch of federal employees, like well air traffic controllers over the “union flap”. Reagan not only had to back off and raise taxes, he also INCREASED the number of federal employees (appointees especially), just as “W” did! Check out the creation of “Homeland Security” and the addition of 33 new departments and appointed minions to run them!
There are a lot more serious cuts proposed (at actually 17% loss of budget, not 3%) in many agencies that don’t carry the publicity of TSA, but do more important work. (Hint, it is NOT “defense” contractors and “civilian” employees.)
How about trying to change the tenor of the agencies. How about offering healthy incentive bonuses for departments that cut spending and become more efficient in their operation? Nobody knows the waste and fraud inherent in government programs than those that administer them.
The GOP is STILL trying to destroy the economy so Obama will be blamed. They’ve been trying to do that for the last four years and yet Obama was reelected. But they are determined to sabotage their own country. Think about that for a few minutes. Rather than see a black democrat get any credit the right is willing to cause a massive recession. That is your GOP.
the more they can distract us and get us to fighting among our selve the more they can pull over on us sequester is a con job put it in then both sides can avoid taking blame for pain so keep on the name calling thats thier plan repubcrats thier both not concerned about you but at election time
Interesting point: right-wing diatribes, based on myth, are considered by them: “comments”, while liberals presenting actual facts is always “ranting”.
