To professionalize, you must federalize
Who said, “To professionalize, you must federalize.”
I received the following e mail from “Caleb;”
“This is from a column of military related news in today’s (Friday) Washington Times. With geniuses like this screening passengers at airports, We are just damn lucky there hasn’t been another plane hijacked. Common sense for airport screeners is NOT optional, it is prohibited.”
Here is the column;
“The Marine Corps is livid over the mistreatment of three Marines at the hands of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) in Philadelphia last month.
According to a Marine Corps memo we obtained, three Marines were “humiliated” by TSA security guards while escorting the body of Marine Sgt. Lea R. Mills, 21, who was killed April 28 along with two others in Al Anbar province, Iraq, by an improvised explosive device.
Sgt. Mills’ body was being moved from Dover Air Force Base through Philadelphia International Airport en route to her final resting place in Gulfport, Miss., on May 3. The three Marines who were accompanying the casket, Sgt. John C. Stock, Cpl. Aaron J. Bigalk and Cpl. Jason A. Schadeburg, were forced to remove their dress blue uniforms, belts and shoes, which were then scanned. They were then “patted down” by TSA inspectors.
One of the Marines had his shoes taken away for scanning, but they were never returned and he was forced to retrieve them.”
