Central Florida Rep. trying to privatize Orlando TSA

Probably plans to give it to one of his campaign boosters. Look, these private screeners have roots in some places that love secrecy. This is a terrible idea.

"The airport doesn't get involved at all," said Michael C. McCarron, spokesman for the San Francisco airport.

Other airports with private-screening contractors are smaller, such as Key West, Rochester, N.Y., Sioux Falls, S.D., Tupelo, Miss., and Gallup, N.M.

San Francisco's contract is with Winter Springs-based Covenant Aviation Security, while Kansas City's is with Cleveland-based First Line Transportation Security. Neither company responded to requests to discuss its deals or operations.
