WASHINGTON, April 6 (Reuters) - The White House is proposing to cut more than 9,400 workers and just over $1.5 billion from the 60,000-employee Transportation Security Administration that handles airport security operations, according to budget documents.

President Donald Trump on Friday proposed requiring smaller airports to drop TSA and use private security as a first step to privatizing the agency created after the September 11, 2001 attacks. The White House said privatizing the smaller airports would cut the TSA payroll by more than 4,500 jobs. The TSA proposes to cut another 4,800 jobs by improving efficiency, ending staffing at exit lanes and eliminating redundancies.

Good start.....The whole of the TSA should be privatized....Just another stupid thing W did.

Except it wont happen.
This cutting people, will just make airports that much worse.

That certainly would get them out of the hands of Congress.

I have to disagree, the private sector is much more efficient than government.

How would it make it worse?

No, I agree with that. I wish it was left to the airports. I was referring to him cutting that many workers.
I clarified my post.

There are a few airports like that (San Francisco). I wonder how that is done, and how it is funded.

Air travel was a lot more pleasant and efficient for the 50 or so years before the TSA was formed.
I wouldn't care if it went away completely.

TSA should be gotten rid of. Its unconstitutional anyway. The feds have no authority to take over airports like they did.
Big govt bullshit.

Spoken like the naive fool I know you to be.

The only beneficiary to these changes is the investors and shareholders of said security firms, the customer will not benefit in any way.

Flying was 100%+ better before the TSA.

FAA should be gotten rid of also, no business taking over air safety
(haha)

Yes it was, before you needed a TSA you mean.

Everything was fine until you started aiding and abetting the zionist regime in its incessant killing of non-Jews, that's when they started attacking the American public flying in aeroplanes.

Many countries have already gone private for ATCs.

You brought up the issue of safety, look:

Such Muslim hijackings didn't exist until you lot started aiding and abetting Israel in its persecutuion of Palestinians. Your own government is what created the danger to the American people, you should be furious about that but instead you keep electing people who continue with the aiding and abetting and then look all puzzled next time there's another attack.

My argument is the constitution and the restraint of the fed govs power.
Yours is emotion.

You conveniently left out 70s Iranian skyjackings, probably from ignorance.
Yeah well, Hezbollah and Palestinians aren't likely to be pulling that BS again for quite some time now.
They'd need at least a couple decades of inbreeding to build up their numbers again.

You're right, if we got rid of all the Muslims, air travel would be much safer.

As I said, listen to Sachs, he will tell you that the US overthrew the elected government of Iran in 1953, your government (and mine) did that, and this is why these things happen.
