TSA Privatization and Reform under Project 2025

under implementation

Project 2025, a far-right plan published by The Heritage Foundation, proposes reforming the TSA by privatizing aviation screening manpower to reduce costs and deunionizing the TSA workforce. The plan suggests treating TSA as a national security provider until privatization and adopting Canadian and European private models. The second Trump administration has attempted to end TSA's collective bargaining agreement in line with these proposals. However, the current partial government shutdown affecting TSA funding is due to a political debate unrelated to privatization efforts.
