Commentary
The Trump administration’s move to end collective bargaining for more than 40,000 Transportation Security Administration (TSA) employees is good for America. That does not mean that a slash-and-burn approach to every single one of the TSA employees—or other federal employees—is the right approach. Most do their jobs admirably. The security elements of the federal government, especially the military and intelligence agencies, are the only things standing between the public and the world’s most dangerous terrorist and authoritarian regimes in China, Russia, and Iran.
