January 1, DeSantis Pushes to Scrap TSA and Privatize Airport Security

Wyatt’s Take

• Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is questioning whether the TSA has actually made flying safer over the last 25 years.
• He says airports and airlines should handle their own security instead of Washington.
• Critics say the federal system has become costly, slow, and inefficient for travelers.

The TSA was created after 9/11 to replace private security firms. Critics argue the agency is mostly security theater for the public.

Data shows TSA agents often miss explosives during internal tests. Before the 2001 terrorist attacks, private companies handled the screening process under airline contracts.

Congress moved to a centralized federal model, but wait times and costs have skyrocketed since then. Reports indicate there is no documented record of the TSA stopping a single terrorist attack since its founding.

Travelers in cities like Atlanta recently faced lines stretching up to three hours long. Many Americans are frustrated with a system that feels more like a bureaucracy than a safety measure.

Middle Americans are tired of federal red tape making travel slower and more expensive. Returning security to local control reflects freedom and common sense.
