The story you printed below is misleading. The government is overseeing private security workers at that airport - there is just not enough time for the federal government to hire and train all the personnel that would be required to replace all of the people working airport security. So, as a stopgap measure, federal employees are supervising these other personnel. It was a federal employee that caught the guy sleeping. If the federal government wasn't involved then someone would just have shaken the guy awake and the story would never have made the news at all.
Personally, I feel safer knowing that the federal government is involved with airport security.
