  • There are 20 US airports that employ private contractors instead of federal TSA screeners.
  • These airports have maintained normal operations during government shutdowns.
  • TSA recently scrapped its Gold+ program and announced a new strategy to encourage privatization.

Named in recognition of the TSA’s 25th anniversary, the agency said the initiative aims to “accelerate public-private partnerships” through an evolved SPP, modernize TSA checkpoints, and enhance TSA PreCheck.

The broader privatization push has faced criticism from opponents, who argue that the competitive nature of such partnership programs could compromise aviation safety and worsen working conditions. White House officials, meanwhile, have said it would save money.

As the Trump administration pushes for more privatization of airport security, take a look at the airports across the US that haven’t had TSA screeners for years.
