Mike Lee (R-UT) and Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) introduced legislation on Thursday to abolish the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and to privatize security at the nation’s airports, under federal oversight. > The goal of the legislation is to dissolve what Lee and Tuberville call the “bloated and ineffective” TSA while allowing U.S. airports “to compete to provide the safest, most efficient, and least intrusive security measures” under an Office of Aviation Security Oversight. -------------------- > In a statement to Fox News Digital, Lee explained: >> The TSA has not only intruded into the privacy and personal space of most Americans, it has also repeatedly failed tests to find weapons and explosives. Our bill privatizes security functions at American airports under the eye of an Office of Aviation Security Oversight, bringing this bureaucratic behemoth to a welcome end. American families can travel safely without feeling the hands of an army of federal employees.
