[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These are two entirely different agencies. TSA needs to be 100% federal government. We can’t trust states or airlines or airports to put public safety first. They never have and never will.

FEMA is a mess because it is boxed into federalism and outsourcing. FEMA isn’t allowed to manage disaster relief and recovery on the ground. The Stafford Act sets it up to reimburse state and local governments for their response efforts and to contract with private vendors for resources and services, so FEMA ends up being overly bureaucratic and compliance oriented rather than being mission oriented and in charge.

TSA needs to be privatized. [b]The responsibility and cost should be born by the airlines.[/b] Right now the vast majority of Americans who rarely use air travel pay for the people who use it the most- wealthy individuals and business travel. This subsidy must end.

FEMA is the opposite of what you say. It work with the state officials and is not in charge to “manage” a disaster. There is no way any red state would allow FEMA to be in charge. There is no way the federal government could roll in and take over a state’s response. You really do not know what you are posting about. [/quote]

This is how it was prior to 9/11. And it failed spectacularly.

The solution? Create TSA and assess every airline ticket sold a September 11th Security Fee of $5.60 per one-way trip, per passenger. So the passenger pays directly for using TSA security services. The Republicans created this system.
