(ORLANDO SENTINEL) — Orlando Sanford International Airport officials have restarted a push to hire private security forces, relying this time on a new law championed by U.S. Rep. John Mica, R-Winter Park.
Replacing federal Transportation Security Administration workers with contract employees would result in a more "customer friendly" operation, airport president Larry Dale said at a Tuesday news conference.
But he could not say if a switch would result in lower costs because he has not seen any financial proposals from the three companies the airport has on a short list for the work.
