9 Investigates: TSA, private screeners at Orlando airport

Looks like TSA may get tossed at MCO yet.

Representative John Mica helped put the TSA in place. His goal was to have private screeners take over two years after 9/11, but that's only happened at about a dozen airports. 9 Investigates found out what he's doing a decade later to make it easier to get through those security lines and to make flying safer.

Kent Craven flies weekly for business and said getting through security with TSA agents is miserable. "I try to be patient with TSA, but it’s rarely a good experience," said Craven.

Craven supports a push to replace federal TSA screeners at Orlando International Airport with private workers under federal supervision. "There would be fewer problems, a lot better service and better safety," Craven said.

Only 16 airports have private screeners, and Mica blames TSA scare tactics.

"TSA intimidates the airports," Mica said.
