These companies operate with large subsidies from the Government which aren't re-invested into services but into the pockets of the shareholders.
Your Views
Trains are a public transport not a private one.
From the customers' point of view, give me three benefits of privatisation.
Public transport should be exactly that. accessible to the public with ease and affordable..
British Rail would benefit the whole country. As the BBC and the NHS are publicly owned, so should the rail service along with lots of other state services!
The whole train service is overpriced and useless. I'm really glad I don't need to use the trains every day but others need to get to and from work without all this disruption.

3 reasons why we need a new publicly-owned railway 🚆 from our friends at NOR4NORNOR4NOR's 3 reasons why we need a new publicly-owned railway 🚆 ...
With regard to item No3, it's a shame that no mention is made of the Guard's role being safety critical. Having read through some BR Rule Books, it's very obvious that the Guard has a large number of safety related duties to carry out in any given situation, and in conjunction with the driver. Nothing has changed in this matter, but the profit obsessed TOCs are blindly happy to shift all of the responsibilty on to one person - the driver, thus creating a less safe railway, which is in itself a contradiction to the DOTs own rules. The media are happy to blame strikes over this matter on "Out of date" Unions, but Joe public needs to realise and understand that any proposal to diminish or remove the role of guards is a short sighted and dangerous idea.
There are many reasons.. my main reason perhaps is the preponderance of foreign companies and esp foreign state-owned railways profiting from our failed railways, it's just so ironic. Greater Anglia and all the rest need unmasking as who they really are, most people don't even know.. in this case I believe they are the Dutch state railway and Matsui.
Two loos on an almost full 12 carriage train. Insufficient number of loos for women & the disabled on large busy stations.
Lack of sheltered & comfy seating on many mainline platforms.
3.1%, I wish, our Northern Rail fares went up by 40% in less than 2 years along with the introduction of afternoon peak fares. Our local line is electrified but hasn't seen an electric train in years as they were transferred to another region. The weekend strikes are an inconvenience but I fully support the strikers.
Our local station (Sherborne) has nearly 250,000 passengers each year and apart from Fridays, the ticket office closes at lunchtime! (Need the loo when you have a couple Grandchildren with you? Forget it...)
many countries offer way way better services and we dont because we have been conned ,simple as that... we can afford it... we should just do it ...
I'm all for renationalisation, but I don't think that things that are already controlled by the government make particularly good reasons to end privatisation. With that in mind...
Fares increases: the 3.1% average increase is essentially the result of how fares are regulated by the DfT - a cap based on inflation, and franchise agreements that include an expectation that the train companies will make most or all of the fare increases that are allowed to them.
The removal of guards: Public-sector control of railways has not exactly been a fan of guards - British Rail's Network Southeast introduced lots of driver-only operation, when TfL launched London Overground one of the first things they did was to get rid of the guards who remained on their routes, and one of the main reasons for recent & current attempts by train companies to get rid of guards is that the DfT has demanded it through the franchising process.
In relation to point one
The fares rise for regulated fares ie season tickets and most walk on fares are set by the Dft and always has been in privatisation
There is a certain amount of flex for the operators but the percentage is set by the government not the RDG or Franchises.
another reason (today especially ) is Scotrail!

'Our fragmented railways are in a mess - expensive and unreliable. We need a nationalised service where all revenue goes back into the service and not shareholders' pockets' says Bring Back British Rail Supporter Barbara Segal, Bristol. Join us at: bringbackbritishrail.org ...
Scrap hs2 and money abound for proper railways
I see a comment on "dirty, knackered trains" below. Perhaps I should point out that ScotRail has just leased some of British Rail's finest (at the time it was built) stock, viz. a few HST sets, and is attempting to run them on inter-city routes between the Lowlands and Aberdeen/Inverness. Also, Northern is still running Pacers (142) on many routes, including (e.g.) Morpeth-Newcastle and Middlesbrough-Whitby. Again, ancient BR stock. It is actually the present-day franchisees who are running the ancient, clapped-out stock.
Contribute to the Williams Rail Review consultation, making it plain that public ownership is the only workable long-term solution for running our railways:
As I remember growing up in the 70s/80s British rail were the butt of everyone's jokes because always on strike , dirty knackered trains with crap service and never on time & cost the country a fortune to run!!! So are labour wanting to take us back to this
Railways are too expensive Anyway
If we remain in the EU their commitment to "free market " economics and competition is written into the charter Its says there must be competition so even if nationalised there would have to be open to competition from other private companies That's partly why the EU is a bosses charter
The tories don't think so.
We shall never get anything right in funding transport too many Mps have varied interest in payment s as shareholders or directors in these accompanied
Chaotic! Every journey- guaranteed!
Do any of the people contributing to this actually use trains regularly because the media talk cobblers most of the time. British Rail, considering they were always underfunded, were pretty good and weren't that expensive. What we now have is the worst of all possible options. The public subsidy has increased, depending on where you live the service may have improved or not but all the prices have increased and will continue to do so.

Austerity Britain by David Kynaston has some good first hand accounts of the railways in it. Brilliant anecdote about a railwayman sorting out a pigeon that got into their rest room about that time.
Privatisation of GM Buses wasn't that bad until a few years ago, because there were so many companies, Bluebird, Go Goodwins, Stagecoach, Arriva, Finglands etc etc competing, but it's more or less only First and Stagecoach. Which means almost all of the routes have been cut or are too expensive. We need to either see the return of lots of companies (Whilst banning Stagecoach from buying them) or the return of GMB/GMPTE

Have you ever asked yourself the question, "How to have sex with my friend's mom?" Do not be afraid; it is okay to admit. In fact, it is quite natural. If your friend's mom is hot, you are going to fantasize about her. Well, guess what; this no longer has to be just a fantasy. You can actually learn how to have sex with your friend's mom; and, if you are careful, you might just be able to save the friendship.
- Wait until you are at least eighteen. It does not matter how rockin' hot your friend's mom is. If you are under the legal age, then stay away. Even if you are able to pull it off, you risk getting your friend's mom sent to jail and labeled as a sexual predator. This really is a no win situation.
- Turn yourself into eye candy. Okay, your friend's mom is only going to want to have sex with you if you represent a young, nubile and energetic image. Now do not be afraid. You do not have to have a huge chest, big guns and rock star abs; but you will need to hit the gym every once in a while. So, get yourself into a little bit of shape, get a tan, and dress up your wardrobe.
- Start flirting every chance you get. If you truly want to have sex with your friend's mom, you are going to have to spark up some sexual tension. Do not waste any opportunities to flirt with her. Make eye contact, stand close, and make innocent but sexual comments.
- Wait for her to reciprocate. You need to give it time. You cannot just take off your shirt and wait for your friend's mom to jump your bones. She is going to need to warm up to the idea. Do not be forceful. Just give her gentle hints here and there that let her know that you are interested in having sex with her. Eventually, she will let you know if there is a mutual attraction.
- Start with some innocent bodily contact. You friend's mom may not come right out and tell you that she wants to have sex with you, but she will let you know in other ways. This could be through some inadvertent hand holding, the brushing of skin, or some secret and naughty comments.
- Just go with it. She is older; so, this probably means that she is more experienced, meaning that she can teach you a thing or two. Try to keep up, and not let her down. Remember, she wants you because you are young. So, give it to her.
- Decide whether it was a one-time thing. You need to decide if it was a one-time thing because you need to know what to tell your friend. If the two of you decide never to let it happen again, then do not stress over telling your friend. Of course, if you plan to have sex with your friend's mom on a regular basis, you are going to need to break the news. Just try to let him down gently.

Top Cars
Top Cheap New Cars Under $30,000
Many shoppers on a budget may be looking at pre-owned cars or last year's models. But many cheap new cars are available for shoppers who want the latest styling without breaking the bank. To prove that, we've listed the least expensive cars that are all-new or redesigned for 2013 -- and they're all under $30,000.
Chevrolet Spark - $12,995
Chevrolet's tiny Spark only comes as a 5-door hatchback. All-new for 2013, it slots below the already small Sonic in the brand's lineup. A base LS model with a 5-speed manual starts at $12,995, while a top-end Spark 2LT automatic starts at $16,820. All use an 84-horsepower 1.2-liter 4-cylinder. Manual models return 32 miles per gallon city and 38 mpg highway; automatics return 28 mpg city/37 mpg hwy. Standard features include curtain side airbags, an auxiliary plug for music and GM's OnStar system. LT models also include cruise control, power locks, Bluetooth and keyless entry.
Dodge Dart - $16,790
Dodge's new entry-level model replaces the Caliber for 2013. Offered only as a sedan, the Dart starts at $16,790 in base SE form. For the same price, shoppers can get the fuel-saving Dart Aero. That model uses lightweight components and other tricks to squeeze every last drop out of each gallon of gas. Other Dart trims include the mid-level Rallye and SXT models. There's also the high-end Dart Limited, which starts at $20,790. All Dart models include standard curtain side airbags and a CD player. SXT and Rallye trims add remote keyless entry and air conditioning. The Limited boasts Bluetooth, cruise control and even a rearview camera.
Honda Accord - $22,470
The 2013 Honda Accord is the cheapest of several new midsize sedans. Last year's base-level DX trim is gone. The formerly mid-level LX is now the cheapest Accord, priced from $22,470. The Accord Sport starts at $23,190, while EX models start at $25,395. Most drivers choose the sedan's 4-cylinder, which offers 185 hp. A standard 6-speed manual returns 24 mpg city/34 mpg hwy, while an optional CVT automatic returns 27 mpg city/36 mpg hwy. The standard equipment is generous. It includes side curtain airbags, dual-zone automatic climate control, a rearview camera and Bluetooth.
Ford Fusion - $22,495
Ford's latest Fusion starts at just $22,495. That sum buys a base Fusion S, which -- unlike the slightly cheaper Accord -- includes a standard automatic transmission. It also uses a 175-hp 2.5-liter 4-cylinder that returns 22 mpg city/34 mpg hwy. And shoppers will love the Fusion's long list of features. Standard items include Bluetooth, steering wheel audio controls, automatic headlights, curtain side airbags and a USB port. Plus, the Fusion boasts great new styling that's making its way across Ford's lineup.
Nissan Altima - $22,550
Like the Accord, Fusion and Malibu, the Nissan Altima is another midsize sedan that's all-new for 2013. For a base price of $22,550 with shipping, shoppers receive a base-level Altima 2.5. That model includes an automatic transmission and some luxury features. Safety-conscious buyers will like the curtain side airbags, while audiophiles will enjoy the auxiliary music jack and steering wheel audio controls. The Altima also includes Bluetooth, air conditioning and keyless entry. Power comes from a 182-hp 2.5-liter 4-cylinder which returns 27 mpg city/38 mpg hwy.
Chevrolet Malibu - $22,805
The new 2013 Malibu is another midsize option for shoppers interested in an all-new design. Starting at $22,805 with shipping, the Malibu LS includes a standard 6-speed automatic. It also includes automatic headlights, Bluetooth, Satellite radio and steering wheel audio controls. Power comes from a muscular 2.5-liter 4-cylinder that produces a best-in-class 197 hp. But despite the strong power number, gas mileage remains a robust 22 mpg city/34 mpg hwy.
Ford Escape - $23,365
With a base price of just $23,365, the Escape is the cheapest crossover that's new for 2013. For that price, shoppers receive a 2013 Escape S with a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder that makes nearly 170 hp. A standard 6-speed automatic returns 22 mpg city/31 mpg hwy. Other standard features include remote keyless entry, air conditioning, curtain side airbags and an auxiliary jack. Unfortunately for shoppers up north, the Escape S is front-drive only. Optional all-wheel drive requires choosing the Escape SE, which starts around $27,500 with that feature.
Buick Encore - $24,950
The Buick Encore offers a new design and an upscale brand at a good price. The $24,950 figure buys a front-drive Encore; those looking for all-wheel drive must pay $1,500 extra. While the Encore only offers 138 hp from its 1.4-liter turbo 4-cylinder, it returns a robust 25 mpg city/33 mpg hwy. It also includes luxury-level features like 18-inch alloy wheels, automatic headlights, Bluetooth, Satellite radio and a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls. Overall, the Encore offers a great value for shoppers who don't need to race between the lights.
Scion FR-S - $25,255
The sporty Scion FR-S has turned heads with its low price and sharp handling. Pricing starts at $25,255, which buys a base-level FR-S with a 6-speed stick. The coupe uses a 2.0-liter flat-4 to produce 200 hp and 151 lb-ft of torque. That engine, like the rest of the FR-S, was developed with Subaru, which sells its own version of the sporty coupe as the BRZ. Both models are fun and economical, returning 22 mpg city/30 mpg hwy with the standard stick shift. That figure jumps to 25 mpg city/34 mpg hwy for drivers who pay the extra $1,100 for a 6-speed automatic.
Hyundai Santa Fe Sport - $25,295
The Hyundai Santa Fe Sport is a 5-passenger alternative to the 7-seat Santa Fe. Priced from $25,295, the Santa Fe Sport includes Bluetooth, 17-in alloy wheels, steering wheel audio controls and side curtain airbags. A standard 6-speed automatic returns up to 21 mpg city/29 mpg hwy with 2-wheel drive. Optional all-wheel drive drops fuel economy to 20 mpg city/26 mpg hwy. Regardless of drivetrain, power comes from a 190-hp 2.4-liter 4-cylinder. A 264-hp 2.0-liter turbo four is optional.
What it means to you: Our list of cheap new cars proves that even shoppers on a budget can still get the latest and greatest.

Bulldogs clinch District 1-3A title with win over Pampa
The Borger Bulldogs entered Friday's game against the Pampa Harvesters with one mission: Win the district title. After a strong third inning offensively and a solid outing by starting pitcher Hunter Hertel, mission accomplished as Borger won 7-2 Friday in Borger.This was the fourth time the Bulldogs defeated the Harvesters. Head coach Steve Ribera said that's tough for a team to do."These kids had a mission for sure to win a district championship," Ribera said. "They came out and got it done."The Harvesters (13-14, 5-4) took the lead early. Junior Cole Engle led off with a single and advanced to second on a sacrifice by senior catcher Brent Green. Junior Jared Lusk hit a fly ball to deep right field and Engle scored on the play.The Bulldogs (16-11-1, 7-2) responded immediately. Junior Max Lusk smashed the second pitch of the inning over the right field wall. With one out Hertel followed with a single. Grant Boren courtesy ran and stole second but was stranded as senior Garrett Ericson struck out the next two batters.Pampa regained the lead in the top of the third. With one out, Engle singled to left and advanced to third on a single by Green. Lusk hit another sacrifice fly to center and Engle slid safely into home.

Bear Bryant: The Crimson Standard
By: Jessica Campbell
5 years ago
I remember the day the Bear died. The world seemed to stop for a moment. There were no words, just a somber feeling and the color black... And red, too. Lots of red… Crimson, actually.
I'm not talking about just any old bear. I'm talking about the Bear – Coach Bear Bryant, whose name was (and still is) synonymous with Alabama, with football and with winning. He was a local hero, a national treasure, a living legend… and then suddenly he was gone.
In this Sept. 1980, file photo, Alabama head coach Paul "Bear" Bryant appears during an NCAA college football game. There are hats on the heads of more than half the coaches pictured in both NFL and college halls of fame, as well as sports coats, ties and even the occasional bow tie completing the look. Some looked so distinct – Bryant comes to mind – that even decades later, you could identify them just by seeing their profiles. (AP Photo/Joe Holloway Jr.)
Let me clarify that though I was born and raised in Alabama, I have no special interest in football, nor do I have allegiance to any particular team. I grew up in a house divided, a family of Eagles and Elephants, Tigers and Rolling Tides. Where I grew up, it was always Alabama vs. Auburn, Crimson vs. Orange and Blue. No sense leaning to one side and incurring the wrath of the other – better to stay in the middle and annoy everyone equally.
I won't say that the Bear's death brought everyone together. I'm sure there were plenty of Auburn fans reveling in the demise of Alabama football, if not the death of the man himself. But there were few times in my youth when my home state was as thoroughly and completely dejected as when Paul William Bryant died on January 26, 1983.
Bryant remains an icon – for his houndstooth hat, stoic demeanor and winning ways – and many still consider him the greatest coach in the history of the game. During his quarter of a century as head coach at Alabama, he led the Crimson Tide to six national championships and 13 SEC championships. When he retired at the end of the 1982 season, just weeks before he died of a heart attack at age 69, he was the all-time winningest coach in college football history.
In the 30 years since his death, only two NCAA Division I coaches (Eddie Robinson and Bobby Bowden) have managed to top Bryant's winning record. Meanwhile, Alabama football has had ups and downs. Recently, they've regained some of the glory of days gone by, with Nick Saban leading the team to the national championship three of the past four years.
But there has been no one like Bear Bryant. When it comes to college football, he is still the crimson standard.
This is a 1972 file photo of Paul 'Bear' Bryant. About 100 people will meet in Tuscaloosa, Ala. Saturday to celebrate Bryant's birthday, who would have been 83 Wednesday Sept. 11, 1996. All of those invited to the party before Saturday's Alabama-Vanderbilt game were named after the late Alabama coach, Paul 'Bear' Bryant. (AP Photo/Joe Holloway Jr.)

In a plot straight out of CSI, Gary McGurk, an Irish national and criminology student who confessed to killing a crime laboratory technician for the NYPD, was sentenced to 37 years in jail on Wednesday after pleading guilty to the murder.
The distraught family of murder victim Michelle Lee were in court to express their fury at the 24-year-old killer who admitted to murder and tampering with evidence.
Lee was an NYPD criminologist. She was found dead in her Sunnyside, Queens apartment in April 2009. Her head was covered in a plastic wrap to limit bleeding. McGurk later admitted he hit Lee in the head four times with a hammer, stabbing her in the neck, and burned her body with an iron.
Investigators said McGurk then posed the body in a certain way attempt to throw detectives off track
McGurk, who is originally from County Tyrone, moved to America at a young age with his parents.
His father, Aiden McGurk, was involved with the IRA in Northern Ireland.
In court McGurk told the victim's family he was sorry.
"I myself am still coming to terms for what I have done and I make no excuses. I have taken away the life of a very special young woman. I don't ask forgiveness. I don't think I deserve it," he said.
Friends and family said McGirk also swindled Lee out of thousands of dollars, claiming he had cancer.
"We wake up every day thinking we are in the middle of a horrible nightmare. What you did was unforgivable. What you did makes our blood boil," said Lee's sister, Stephanie.
The judge, who was constrained by the plea deal, told McGurk: "You deserve a life sentence for what you did."
McGurk, who could be eligible for parole in his 50s, will be deported back to Ireland if he becomes eligible.
Lee, who worked for the NYPD's crime lab, was found dead in her bedroom on Monday April 27,2009 in the Irish neighborhood of Sunnyside in Queens.
McGurk allegedly stabbed Lee in the throat, then scalded her chest with a steam iron after she was dead. Cops also say he swindled her out of a great sum of money, perhaps in the thousands of dollars.
Her body had been badly beaten, and was bloodied by stab marks and bound. She had last been seen leaving a fitness club two days earlier.
The 24-year-old Lee worked for the city Police Department in what relatives said was her "dream job." She was a forensic investigator — like the kind portrayed on the popular "CSI" television show — and worked in police forensic labs.
Police sources told IrishCentral.com that Lee kept a diary that detailed her apparently secret romance with McGurk. One entry noted that the student soccer star had cancer, which was untrue. She reportedly gave him money for cancer treatment, they revealed.
The precise motive for the alleged murder was unclear. Lee's salary was not large, and the financial strain may have caused her to cut back on the funding of his "treatment."
Police sources said that once they were sure McGurk was their leading suspect, they acted quickly to prevent him from fleeing to his home in Ireland.
In his statement to police, McGurk said he met Lee at the John Jay gym in 2004, and they dated briefly before becoming "friends with benefits," he said.
"It got to the point that when she wasn't giving me the money back, I told her, 'You know I do have cancer and I need my money back,'" McGurk said in his statement.
McGurk said he last saw Lee around 2 a.m. on April 26, when she met him outside her apartment to explain she could not pay him back and they parted amicably, according to his statement. "I got to her apartment door and she said she had company and said good night and walked off," he told police in a statement on April 28.
McGurk maintained his innocence. "If I did it, I would deserve to be put away," he said.
Police Commissioner Ray Kelly told IrishCentral.com of Lee, "She was a very talented young woman. She was murdered in a very brutal way." McGurk was suspected because he had "inconsistencies in his story," Kelly said, noting there was also forensic evidence implicating him.
McGurk's academic specialty at John Jay focused on psychology and legal issues. Forensic psychologists often evaluate individuals to determine whether they are competent to stand trial, and their potential for future dangerous behavior.
Chillingly, the department website lists two academic events that McGurk could have attended during the course of his studies: "Understanding and Preventing the Murder of Women in Intimate Relationships" and "The Interrogation and Torture Controversy."
McGurk's page on MySpace.com shows the accused killer said his mood was "blissful" the last time he logged into the social network which occured after the girl was murdered.

Great JobThat is Awesome !!!
halley (profile), 11 Apr 2012 @ 5:22amThe points made in the infographic may be powerful, but the presentation completely ruins the impact.
I've seen many of these so-called "info-graphics" that are nothing more than unattractive typestyle masturbation exercises. "Ooh, a grungy filter, that'll make it look great!" It's pixel barf, sliding down a long wall.
If the data is more clearly demonstrated visually, use a graphic, and make it clear. If the data is just a series of bullet points or better expressed in prose, don't feel compelled to make a two-meter-tall PowerPoint slide out of it.
Anonymous Coward, 11 Apr 2012 @ 6:51am
Re:Agreed. While sometimes, the graphic adds something, makes a point, this one has very few details that carry some info in and of themselves and lots of stuff that is just 'artsy' and obscures the content it should carry.

Anonymous Coward, 11 Apr 2012 @ 5:30amSome of the points in the graphic have been debunked. I am not a fan of the TSA, but I hate to see Techdirt lower itself by promoting its viewpoints with bad data. One of TD's touchstones is its insistence on quality data.
There are plenty of good solid reasons for hating the TSA without resorting to this type of garbage.

Re: So...It is shocking. Think of all the times you've read an article about a groundbreaking NASA satellite and someone always responds "Guys we are BROKE! No more playing around with learning stuff about the universe! We need to stop spending blah blah". 60 Billion is TEN James Webb telescopes (and that's the most expensive, state-of-the-art ever). It's 60 Chandra X-ray observatories (one of the 'great observatories' which is surpassed only by Hubble in revolutionizing our understanding of the Universe). It's funding for Hubble scientists (the thousands of people who use the instrument) for another six hundred years.

sharing a few songs, get fined millions of dollars, have your life totally and forever fucked up by a bunch of absolute morons
answers on a postcard please!!
Anonymous Coward, 11 Apr 2012 @ 6:20amBiggest issue with the TSA is they're (at least partially) concerned with all the wrong things. They're also always chasing the last threat.
Who cares about knives? The only reason knives worked on 9/11 is that in all the previous hijackings, the worst the passengers got was a week in Havanna or some random not-so friendly country. Then they went home and no body was seriously injured. Now, no sane passenger will let a plane be hijacked by people with knives now. Hell, taking over a plane with knives didn't even work more than an hour on 9/11 before that tactic was rendered obsolete over PA.
The other issue is the huge waste of money to cover X vulnerability, while Y obvious one is left open. To date, it's those other vulnerabilities that have been exploited (e.g, getting past security in a foreign country).

It reduced the number of potential deaths to those on the flight and maybe a few on the ground from falling debris. Still a tragedy but not 9/11.

Last parts of the graphicI'm not sure I agree with the last part of the graphic. I mean, I agree with the overall message, but couldn't this have been done more generally without invoking any particular politician's name? Plus, how is private security any better than government-run security? The same thing would likely continue, and it would probably be even worse because we would be losing the precious few rights we have once we let private companies run what was once the domain of the government. (I only say this because I've seen a number of stories where discrimination and such suits have worked against the government but not against private companies, so please correct me if I'm wrong in saying this.) What I would REALLY like to see is a return to the pre-9/11 overt security measures combined with skilled people trained to monitor passengers' behavior.

TSA agent among 55 caught in kid porn net
Cops snared 55 Massachusetts men in a sweeping, multi-agency child pornography crackdown � including a Transportation Security Administration officer assigned to Logan International Airport who is just the latest embarrassment for the troubled federal agency.
Anonymous Coward, 11 Apr 2012 @ 6:56amWe don't need a fancy infographic to tell us that the TSA has been completely ineffective.
Just look at the data: it has been unable to prevent the occurrence of 9/11 every year since its creation. And, if the current trend continues, we will have yet another 9/11 this year, in early September.
The TSA should be looking at work done in this area by it's European counterparts. For example, ancient Roman experts have long introduced measures to ensure that the threat of 2/29 only occurs once every 4 years. That's a 300% reduction in the number of occurrences, a real success story.

Anonymous Coward, 11 Apr 2012 @ 7:22am"Private security wouldnt cost the US taxpayers 60 billion dollars, and likely be far more effective."
Not really, private security would still have to follow the TSA's rules for what to/how to search for threats, so they wouldn't be any less invasive. They could add their own security searches/etc if they want to however. Also the cost would be shifted onto airline passengers, since who do you think pays for private screeners?
Also I doubt that the private screeners really save any money, regardless of who pays for them, seeing as TSA workers at airports ALREADY make minimum wage. That's part of why their yearly turnover rate is over 100%, it's not a pleasant job to do, nor is it pleasant having people constantly angry with you over the invasive things you're being paid to do.
The only way you can possibly save more money then hiring minimum wage people is to hire less people, which means longer lines and waits, or buying expensive new equipment that's supposed to speed up the process (like the full body scanners, that are very invasive).

We were attacked before, since then they have let terrorist slip through and constant security mishaps with not one terrorist actually physically stopped. Current TSA is no more of a psychological deterrence than the old private security forces were.

Are you sure it wasn't the magic pebble I've been carrying since October 2001?
Any terrorist with the backing, intelligence and dedication of the 9/11 terrorists could commit an act of mass murder on U.S. soil without boarding an airplane. Granted, killing thousands in a single attack (or two) would be difficult, and the drama of 9/11 would be almost impossible to beat, but people like that wouldn't be stopped by current airport security measures even if current airport security measures worked as intended, which they don't.

Re:Number of traveled miles by passengers? You think that would be a good metric? Why not increase it to number of feet traveled per cubic volume of blood? That would make the numbers even more in the TSA's favor without having actually measured anything of any significance. Is there some kind of inherently bigger security risk for longer flights over shorter ones? I admit that it's less likely for terrorists to hijack a flight from Chicago to Milwaukee since they'd have so little time to act, but that doesn't mean that they're more likely hijack a trans-pacific flight than a cross country flight.
As an aside, I googled "35,000 security violations" and the first link was your post, which Google seemed to think occurred 6 days ago.

Here's an alternative to TSAI have known for years that TSA would eventually turn into a government run department void of accountability and riddled with inefficiencies.
I've never gotten used to the awkward belt de-robbing, the absurd .001 liquid rules, and the mounting disrespect for humanity while traveling past security in any airport in US. I've never seen a group of individuals so entitled to control your belongings and strip you not only of your clothing but your dignity.
What I also can't get used to is being charged for my bags to be boarded each time I fly when I know the airlines are just as inefficiently run as TSA. I can't control the TSA just yet (leave that to Congress), but I can take my bags away from the airlines and send them ahead of time. I ship my bags each time I fly. They pick up from my door and send to my end destination, allowing me to better handle the de-humanzing and often stressful travel experience. I use www.lugless.com, they are pretty great and pricing is very similar to what airlines charge for checked bags.

This is about a taxpayer funded public security agency that has yet to prove that it's done much of anything it was set up to do and costs an arm and several legs to keep going. Not only that but it's had 200 or more theft allegations against it and it's employees, selectively screens by all reports and can't even keep objects off aircraft that it's supposed to that the old method of metal detectors would have intercepted.

It's about time the US looked outside its borders for security ideas that work. If we did that, we'd also discover that the current crop of scanners that has enriched Chertoff and others have been banned in other countries, due to health concerns.

Most privatization arguments end up suggesting that we should pay some private company 20% less to provide 50% less service. Government agencies are not nearly as inefficient as privatization proponents like to claim. I'm moderately conservative; I'm not a big-government fan. But I'm also honest enough to acknowledge that most privatization proposals fall flat on their face with dishonesty.

Johnny Walker BlueTravelling back from Jamaica, I purchased a high end bottle of whiskey called "Johnny Walker Blue" to give to my co-worker, which cost about $ 175. Had to get off plane on North Carolina with carry-ons only to reboard same plane 45 minutes later. As I was getting ready to get back on plane, TSA agent says everyone has to go back through security. They see the bottle and start yelling "this is over 3 ounces!" To which I said, "Well, yes, it's a bottle of whiskey." I told them the funny thing is I had just travelled on a plane ride with it and presented my duty free receipt. The TSA lady screams " I don't care! This should not be on a plane - it's over 3 ounces" and confiscated it. (I couldn't get out of line to check it since the we all had five minutes to get back on the plane.) I asked if I could pay shipping and get it sent to me to which she laughs and says "Honey, this the TSA, this ain't UPS." She said she would have to "throw it out" (yea, right). Hope they enjoyed themselves. In retrospect, I should've opened it up and poured it out and posted the video on YouTube. (Oh, and one other thing - the "TSA" of Mexico tells you to NOT take your shoes off when travelling to the USA, while the TSA in the USA obviously has just the opposite policy - hmmm, wonder who is right? Answer: neither - it doesn't matter)
