From the Party of NO: Sen. Jim DeMint is the one who has put a hold on President Obama's nominee to head the TSA because he is concerned that Erroll Southers will let the employees unionize, which is way more important than stopping people from blowing up planes.

The conference bill included more than $4 billion for "screening operations," including $1.1 billion in funding for explosives detection systems, including $778 million for buying and installing the systems.
