Republican senator blocks TSA nominee over unionization

In the wake of a failed terrorist bombing in Detroit on Christmas Day, union leaders, industry groups, and security experts are calling for Congress to confirm President Obama’s nominee to the Transportation Security Administration, Erroll Southers. The confirmation of Southers as chief of the TSA has been blocked by Republican Senator Jim DeMint, who opposes allowing TSA workers to unionize. FSRN’s Matt Pearson reports.
