TSA and APHIS plan broad workforce flexibility policy
Homeland security officials propose a transportation security administration border inspection program under APHIS to expand job classifications and pay scales. The plan includes waivers of union rights for national security, privacy protections via a high level civil liberties officer, bans on national ID cards, and limits on programs that would pressure citizens to spy. It also provides liability protection for companies and outlines a Security Research Center at a national laboratory.
