Bad decision-making at the TSA. The Transportation Security Administration awarded a $28 million contract for a private screening program at Kansas City airport to a bankrupt firm that was fired by Southwest Airlines. Before the TSA, the airlines contracted for security and when the security firm didn’t follow all federal standards, instead of penalizing the security firm or taking away the security firm’s license so the airline couldn’t use them, the government fined the airline(s) that hired them.

Tony Woodlief hopes
Tony Woodlief hopes that the DC sniper resists arrest and is shot dead by the police. I understand the sentiment, but I disagree. Remember Richard Jewell, the suspect in the 1996 Olympic bombing who turned out to be innocent? What if the police have the wrong guy? Who are the police to make the final, life-or-death determination in the first place? The problem is only magnified if it’s the DC police…
