Expanding Private Airport Security Screening Act

Summary

The bill lets airport operators contract qualified private screening companies to perform passenger and property security checks instead of relying solely on federal staff. The Transportation Security Administration must approve and supervise these firms, and airport owners are shielded from certain lawsuits related to the contractors’ actions. Annual reports will compare performance and costs between private and federal screening.
