During his weekly call with reporters, Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., said he’s all for privatizing TSA.
Last year, Tuberville and Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, introduced “The Abolish TSA Act of 2025,” which dissolves the TSA within three years and privatizes airport screening.
Tuberville said the TSA is “over bloated and inefficient”. While he’s thankful TSA workers are showing up without getting paid, Tuberville said it’s time for major change to airport security.
“There are several airports like Kansas City and San Francisco that don’t have long lines. I wonder why? Because they aren’t run by the federal government. They are privatized. And that’s what we should do to every airport,” said Tuberville. “Let the airports supply the security. The federal government can’t do anything right.”
