Here's what I don't get about this TSA shutdown

Why, pray tell, haven't the Republicans - the party that would completely privatize the Marine Corps if they thought they could get away with it - suggested privatizing TSA? Before 9/11 happened airport security was in fact privatized; it wouldn't be all that hard to reprivatize it. Just find someone who will buy the TSA offices at the various airports and let them run it.
