A Republican congressman is demanding the complete privatization of the Transportation Security Administration across all American airports, arguing that the federal government has failed to deliver efficient security services to travelers.
Rep. Rich McCormick (R-GA) made the bold declaration during Wednesday's broadcast of NewsNation's "The Hill," calling for an end to the TSA's stranglehold on airport security operations nationwide.
"I want to see TSA privatized like it already is at some airports," McCormick stated, highlighting a little-known fact that several airports already successfully operate with private security contractors instead of federal TSA agents.
Private Sector PROVES Government Wrong
McCormick's call comes as no surprise to Americans who have endured decades of long lines, invasive searches, and bureaucratic incompetence at the hands of federal TSA agents. Meanwhile, airports using private security - including San Francisco International and Kansas City International - have demonstrated that the private sector can deliver superior service without the red tape.
The Georgia Republican's comments came during discussions about the DHS shutdown, where he accused Democrats of trying to "defund law enforcement" - a classic case of liberal projection after years of their own "defund the police" rhetoric.
"Democrats are trying to defund law enforcement while we're trying to make government more efficient and effective for the American people," McCormick could have added, though the full quote was not available.
Time to END the Security Theater
This push for privatization aligns perfectly with President Trump's second-term agenda of shrinking the bloated federal bureaucracy. With Elon Musk leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), patriots like McCormick are identifying exactly the kind of wasteful government programs that need to be eliminated.
Private airport security would mean faster lines, better customer service, and accountability - something the federal government simply cannot deliver. When was the last time you had a pleasant experience with TSA agents who act like they're doing YOU a favor?
It's time to ask the hard question: Why should hardworking Americans continue subsidizing a failed federal agency when the private sector has already proven it can do the job better?
