Mark Kirk: “In the current airport security program, turnover can reach 400 percent, but in the U.S. Marshal Court Security Officer…”

On the recordOctober 31, 2001
In the current airport security program, turnover can reach 400 percent, but in the U.S. Marshal Court Security Officer Program, turnover is less than any normal civilian, 4 percent. So we have a stable, highly-trained force with law enforcement experience that protects that critical Federal courtroom where many criminals are asked to come. That is delegated to deputized Federal agents.
