TSA's Gold Plus Porquería

TSA's new 'Gold+' program looks to increase private security screening at airports
The agency calls the program an update to the Screening Partnership Program, in which 20 U.S. airports currently use private security screeners rather than federal workers.

Gracias, Miku. Sun's coming up hot over the 5 today, commute's looking clear. Appreciate you putting the coffee on for us early out here. Now, listen to this.

[Verse 1]

TSA just dropped a downgrade, they're calling it Gold Plus
Twenty airports taking federal badges, throwing 'em under the bus
Replacing the line workers with private security crews
Contractors taking the profit, y la gente always lose
The Screening Partnership Program, that's the official name
But it's just the same old hustle, the privatization game
Taking a job with a floor, trading it for cheap
Cutting the benefits clean while the executives sleep

[Chorus]

Oro puro for the boardroom, a plastic badge for the line
They sell off your security, and tell you it's fine
They take a job that built a life and chop it into pieces
While the private contractor's profit margin just increases
They sell the floor we stand on, then they charge us for the shoes
Uno a uno, nos venden, that's the design they choose

[Verse 2]

I know how this math works, lo veo todos los días
You break a steady living into corporate porquerías
You take the guys screening the bags, keeping the terminal tight
And tell 'em re-apply tomorrow for a fraction of the price
The rent in this city don't care if you're private or fed
The grocery store don't care how you're bringing the bread
There's no sick leave in the contract, no safety net to hold
Just a corporate middleman turning your sweat into gold

[Chorus]

Oro puro for the boardroom, a plastic badge for the line
They sell off your security, and tell you it's fine
They take a job that built a life and chop it into pieces
While the private contractor's profit margin just increases
They sell the floor we stand on, then they charge us for the shoes
Uno a uno, nos venden, that's the design they choose

[Bridge]

A government badge used to mean you could breathe.
It meant a pension, meant health insurance, a floor underneath.
Now they auction off the uniform to the lowest bid.
And look you in the eye like they don't know what they did.
Every time they say efficiency, somebody loses a home.

[Outro]

Keep your Gold Plus.
Pay the people who actually do the work.
Ya sabemos quiénes son.
Watch your back at the gate.
