A government employee union publication complains about "privatization" i.e. a dues payor may loose a job. Color me surprised. Here's the article's description of what's up:

It's also not the only attempt by TSA to expand the privatization of airport security. The administration's fiscal 2027 budget proposes to eliminate 8,400 TSO positions " roughly 14% of TSA's screening workforce. About 4,500 of those positions would be replaced by private contractors through a proposed mandatory expansion of the Screening Partnership Program to include all small and non-hub airports, known as Categories III and IV, respectively. Currently about 20 of the nation's 440 commercial airports have opted to use private screening, but the administration's proposal would expand that number more than tenfold to about 220 airports.
