Florida airport to opt out of TSA screening

[240 is Back]

Many Americans are frustrated and outraged at new Transportation Security Administration (TSA) screening policies that require full body scanning or invasive pat-downs at airports.

Now one airport in Central Florida has decided not to use TSA agents at all for screening their passengers.

Larry Dale, the CEO of the Sanford Airport Authority, told WDBO radio that his board has authorized him to use a private screening firm instead of TSA employees.

"All of our due diligence shows it's the way to go," Dale said. "You're going to get better service at a better price and more accountability and better customer service."

The CEO expects to send the federal government final notification in January. The private screeners could be in place within the next 12 months.

if airports can do this then this might be the way to go. If the TSA starts losing contracts($), its a good bet they'll think hard about what theyre doing
