Sen. Mike Lee Introduces Legislation to Ditch the TSA: ‘Too Much Groping, Too Little Benefit’
Sens. 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.
