dudeAirline CEOs sound the alarm on TSA shortages after 300 officers quit
That’s more-or-less how it was done prior to 9/11. Back then each airport contracted with their own security companies, and that would have been paid from fees the airports collect from the airlines.
RememberTheApollo_And if anyone recalls post 9/11 when looking to hire people for the new TSA to work at airports they thought they should just rehire the people already doing security. The background checks found undisclosed criminal records, people not legal to work in the US, and other falsified records.
We don’t need privatization of security any more than we need privatization of other public services. They charge more and enshittify while the contracted service makes bank off the taxpayer.
