Make airline security as efficient as Post Office?

Despite the evidence from abroad, however, pure domestic politics helped propel the Senate bill to passage: The 28,000 new workers will not just be members of an inefficient, unaccountable government union, but all of them will be paying dues that will support the Democratic Party in its push for an ever-expanding federal government.

According to Right to Work, the average worker's dues total nearly $500 a year, which would mean nearly $30 million more every year for labor to use to try to bury Republicans and the free market.

The Bush Administration, which originally opposed federalization of the workers and then seemed to switch sides, is slowly moving back into opposition to the scheme, favoring the House proposal for a public-private partnership. As the President warned, "We must resist pressure to unwisely expand government."
