SFO doesn’t use TSA for security and works like this with whatever contractor it hire. I wish all airports would just use private security funded via usage fees, then we would never be held hostage because some whacko wanted to use masked thugs to beat up and shoot Americans.

- seanmcdirmid 7mo agoI thought it was common knowledge, but anyone who has been through SFO in the last decade should know that they aren’t using TSA for the checks to get to gates. Always seems fast.
