I wondered when THIS was going to happen

why didn't they have tsa employees doing this at all airports in the first place...? oh, crap... never mind... a lot of the airport security contractors are heavy repub contributors... silly me...

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said Sunday that he intended to replace contractors who inspect passenger identification at airport checkpoints with staff members from the Transportation Security Administration, a move that would be one of the biggest expansions of the agency’s tasks since it was set up in the aftermath of the 2001 terrorist attacks.

of course, the contractor biggies receive nary a mention in the article...
