In preparing for the show today I read a Wall Street Journal editorial about our ultimate defeat of OBL.  That editorial contained this line:   “To give one example, as some pointed out at the time—former Sen. Bob Kerrey was one of them—much of our subsequent investment in airport security was destined to be superfluous. The vital security hole had already been closed by the passengers of Flight 93”  (Now read the rest of the article.)  That thought reminded me that not once – not one single time – has any airport security screener employed by the TSA found any article in luggage or on a person that was going to be used in any crime aboard an aircraft.  Not once has the TSA stopped a terrorist attack.  So with the death of (has)bin Laden and the move toward democratization in many Arab countries, will the time ever come that we won’t need the level of airport security – the pat-downs and body screeners – that we have today?  Well yes.  The time will come that we don’t need them … but will we ever be able to get rid of them?  Remember – the TSA is now unionized.  How many government worker union members do we have out there?  40,000?  50,000?  And you think they’re going to go away?  You haven’t been paying all that much attention to the actions of politicians as they relate to government worker unions, have you?
