20 US airports don’t have TSA. Passengers there are not seeing long lines
At 20 airports in the United States, security screening is handled not by the Transportation Security Administration, but by private companies — and their checkpoints aren’t seeing long lines.
Airports like San Francisco International, Kansas City International, Orlando Sanford, and 17 smaller facilities participate in TSA’s Screening Partnership Program which uses contractors at the checkpoints.
The private companies have avoided the large-scale absences some airports that use TSA staff are struggling with right now during the partial government shutdown.
“These 20 airports are completely oblivious to the government shutdown,†said Sheldon Jacobson, a founder professor of computer science who analyzes data to improve aviation security.
More than 400 TSA officers have quit since shutdown began
More than 400 Transportation Security Administration workers have quit since a partial government shutdown that began on Feb. 14 has left them working without pay, the Department of Homeland Security said.
Funding was shut off to DHS over demands by Democrats for reforms at Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection following alleged abuses and the fatal shootings of two U.S. citizens by federal agents in Minneapolis earlier this year.
There has also been a national callout rate of 10% at TSA on more than half the days of the last week, Lauren Bis, acting assistant secretary for public affairs at DHS, said Saturday in response to questions.
