F.A. Hayek’s Road to Serfdom has a chapter titled “Why the Worst Get on Top” .. and so it is with management of security at Cleveland’s airport.
45 year old John Dialinos has been charged with telecommunications harassment and public indecency. He is currently on unpaid administrative leave from a $64,000 a year city job, as the manager of airport security at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport.
North Ridgeville Police say they’ve received a number of complaints, since December of 2011, that a man was observed spending long periods of time in the parking lots of tanning salons in North Ridgeville.
…When officers made contact with the suspect, he could not provide a legitimate reason why he was parked there, or why his pants were unzipped. He had three pre-paid cell phones, and the only contacts in the phone were for tanning salons in the Northeast Ohio area.
He had been on the job since December 2008.
While he is not a TSA employee, it’s still important to remember that a few bad apples in no way undermine the hardwork that thousands of men
and women who provide security do to keep us safe, day in and day out.
Funny, I don’t remember you writing about the TSA saving a kidnapping victim:

Beyond that, I’m sure there’s more than a couple of people who work for your employer that you would think would be unfair to base a stereotype of you on!
Guess I’m glad I don’t tan in the Cleveland area?
Side note: If you don’t already listen to Russ Roberts’ economics podcast [www.econtalk.org], you should.
@mdr I’ve known Russ for almost a decade
Heh, never made the GMU connection.
