The Transportation Worker Identification Card (TWIC) program came into full compliance on April 14, 2009, as a means to help secure the nation's vital maritime transportation infrastructure. Throughout its early implementation phase, the program was fraught with problems, many created by the rather convoluted privatization arrangement created to implement and administer the program. Using Morris' () arguments about pathologies of privatization, the TWIC program is implemented in the Hampton Roads, Virginia, area studied. The results demonstrated that the TWIC program was fraught with problems to include decentralization, problems of bureaucratic supply, and information asymmetry and was a natural monopoly. We also identified the occurrence of buffering due to multiple layers of contractor and subcontractor relationships.
