In less than 2 weeks the new FSD will be on board. Will CAS keep this adversarial relationship with the TSA in place? What are the real reasons behind this openly defiant posture? And why are they doing it now?
For over 8 years CAS has fully complied with the TSA, whether or not, it was written into the contract. Their position now is, "if it is not in the contract, we will not do it!" What is their "ace" in the hole?
And, where is Gerry Berry? Normally, during our Thanksgiving and Xmas luncheon, he is here shaking hands and pretending that he cares about us. Is he out there fanning the flames to have the TSA allow more airports to opt out? Is he planning a strategy with his blood brother Rep. John Mica? Let's see how this all plays out!

Our New FSD will be...
Richard M. Sackett who comes to us from the Ft. Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport where he held the same position.
He was appointed to his new post at SFO by the Office of Security Operations and the Executive Resources Council.
We look forward to his arrival and wish him the best.

Why Is The TSA Still Insisting....
that there is no danger from the airport body scanners?
The European Commission has ban the use of these machines and this decision affects every airport in Europe.
A recent PBS Newshour/ProPublica report, stated: "Research suggests that anywhere from six to 100 U.S. airline passengers each year could get cancer from the machines."
Maybe the TSA knows better than our overseas partners. What do you think?

Still Too many Problems After 10 Years!
When will the TSA hire someone who can connect all the dots?
In another example, of poor management and communication regarding the sharing of information from the TSA to stakeholders, a report was released on November 21 from the GAO that focused on a glaring discrepancy.
It seems that the TSA has set up a department, called the "Transportation Sector Network Management", that is suppose to share information. The only problem is these officials were unsure of their roles! So, what were they doing instead of what they were hired to do? How about some accountability? There is no acceptable excuse for this!

Our Class Act of a Management Team Just Keeps..
sticking it to our part timers!
Our part timers initially had a work week of 25 hours and had it reduced to 21 hours. Now, it has been reduced to 20 hours per week and any overtime slots are first offered to the full time employees.
How can a 20 hour work week help to pay any of your bills? When you add the cost of parking to the mix even less is left. We have talked to several part timers and they are less than thrilled.
We also have heard that CAS will be hiring 16 full timers which does not include the part timers.
How about making these part timers full time employees and then hire part time replacements for them?
