Trump administration proposes cutting over 8,000 TSA jobs and expanding privatization in 2027 budget.
The Trump administration's 2027 budget proposal includes cutting over 8,000 TSA positions while expanding the Screening Partnership Program to privatize airport security at smaller airports. The proposal allocates an additional $477.3 million for private screening contracts, with the administration arguing this will save costs and improve efficiency. The cuts would reduce TSA from approximately 65,000 employees to about 53,000 positions.
