Had a gf that worked for a subcontractor at PDX in the 90s. I heard all kinds of stories about what went on. Security was so lax back then. I was able to go into restricted areas (obviously escorted) and ride in the cockpit of an American Airlines plane.

This maybe one argument against the idea of subcontractors.
