Security

A lot of people don’t realize that the government is not in charge of all airport security. In fact, in 2002, five airports (San Francisco, Kansas City, Jackson Hole, Rochester and Tupelo) were allowed to use private security companies in an effort to make certain that government security forces could be compared. Of course the ideal situation would be for the government forces to consistently rank higher than the private ones and thus prove that the Feds can do it better. In reality, it has been Kansas City that consistently ranks highest among the nations airports in regard to security. (San Francisco has decided to leave the program because TSA wouldn’t insure them against lawsuits)
