No, you were talking about *all* airports. But I don't see any difference in
this case. For example: The government contracts with private firms for
cleaning in some cases and uses public employees in others. Maintenance,
cleaning, security. All functions that should be provided in the most
effective way.
The admins of these airports (as with private ones) ought to individually
decide what to do about security. If that means they want to use public
employees, fine but I would not give these employees any more (or less)
power than private security contractors.

I deal with reality every day. I wish you would have a *firm grasp* on
reality, but I digress.
Is there a point here? You don't pay attention, you can't reason from
premises, you won't admit it, and accusing me of squirming is just your
typical smokescreen, or in some cases, your typical spew, to try to dodge
that fact.

I'm totally comfortable with what I said there and see no contradiction.
Feel free to explain how it shows that I don't understand what freedom
means. Freedom does NOT mean letting those that violate your rights get away
with it if you can help it.
I'd say it's a lot more likely that you have no comprehension whatever of
freedom or rights or the markets or critical thought or a host of other
things. Why don't you go away?
