Well, here's another, uniquely, far right Republican proposal - re-privatize airport screening.
What the hell are they thinking?!?
It's like having private contractors do high level interrogations in Iraq, you can't help but scratch your head in wonderment.

Look, I'm all for smaller government. I heartily agree, the less bureaucracy we private citizens have to deal with, the better. But only up to a point, damn it! There are some functions that belong uniquely to government and, in my book, providing airport security is one of those functions, especially post-September 11.

But, in a way, I'm not surprised.

What are we going to have next? A privately run armed forces? Come to think of it - we already have that....
