Shock! Obama has no one to head the TSA because his nominee is a radical
Many American airline passengers may be surprised to learn the Transportation Security Administration,the agency responsible with securing all modes of transportation in the country,currently has no leader.
Republican lawmakers have placed a “hold”on President Obama’s pick to head the TSA over concerns he could undermine safety by unionizing airport security. The nominee is Erroll Southers,assistant chief in charge of security and intelligence at the Los Angeles airport’s police department.
“It’s very simple. Giving union bosses control over security at our nation’s airports is dangerous and will harm our ability to respond to serious threats,”said Sen. Jim DeMint,R-S.C.
“If President Obama’s nominee will not commit to putting homeland security above the whims of union bosses,it should give everyone serious concern,”DeMint said last month when the conflict developed.
The Washington Times reported last month DeMint blocked a vote to confirm Southers due to the nominee’s ducking of questions about whether he would consider reversing current policy that barred the unionizing of airport security screeners.
OBAMA IS A SYSTEMIC FAILURE.
