Union objects to Trump administration move to privatize security at Tampa International Airport
The union representing transportation security officers criticizes the Trump administration and Tampa International Airport for planning to privatize security operations via TSA Gold+ in 2027. The program would shift security screening and technology management to private contractors, with TSA oversight. Airport officials argue the move supports modernization and operational resilience.
