Call your Senator and demand nationalization of our PORTS.

[iconoclastNYC]

We no longer trust Aiport Security to private domestic companies, and we shouldn't let private foreign corporations run our ports either.

The solution to this is to Nationalize the Ports.

Two independant corporations to handle and audit security. One state, one federal.

If our party had any balls this would be our reaction.

CALL YOUR SENATORS AND DEMAND IT.

These corporate bidding wars only benefit the wealthiest in the world. It's disgusting, and Thomas Jefferson must be turning in his grave.

4. But we DO trust Airport Security to Private Domestic Companies

At least at JFK, we do. Not sure about LaGuardia or Newark. There have been many local ads going back at least a year for private security jobs for JFK. I know, some of my daughter's friends applied. All you need is a HS diploma and at least one year of security experience. They pay up to $13/hour.

Where have you been?
