I call BS

Or we could just not presume passengers are guilty

I’m too lazy to check, but I’m sure before Trump gave out those sweetheart deals, he and his kids invested in the companies.

Privatization always means only one thing: we pay more money for worse service.

Another private Corp siphoning US tax money. Who knew?

As if I needed another reason to never again visit Florida.

What a gutter country

What could possibly………

Do the new TSA agents get to wear a mask and carry assault weapons?

great. private thug armies terrorizing travellers.

Won’t be be using THAT airport if I can help it.

More grift opportunities for the MAGA oligarchs. They are robbing Americans blind. It is why everything costs so much.

Lemme guess who’s invested…

What could go wrong???

Gross.

what could go wrong?

Costs will skyrocket.

Financial interests have no business doing public tasks. You'll sooner or later face conflicts of interest. See also "private detention facilities".

I'm sure this deal includes immunity from lawsuits and these companies will not screen for pedos and sex offenders.

It’s infuriating how Trump prioritizes the profits of his crooked allies over the very people he claims to serve. He has absolutely failed to be a leader for those in need.

Great, cuz that’s worked well for the people on all the other privatized schemes to get rich people richer at expense of the most vulnerable… hospitals, prisons, immigration, etc

TPA is a great airport; that will soon change.

Will it be the GEO group?

What could possibly go wrong??? Different standards? Profits over safety? Higher travel costs? Less safe?

They’ll give it to the private prison people. Studies show this will cut overhead and increase profits.

This is open corruption, breaking our government in pieces to give their cronies

Oh great, because private prisons are working so well.

Hope it works better than privatizing prisons.

What could go wrong?!

Florida- travel advisory.

Oh no…

Don't travel to US. Its about to get more dangerous and expensive

It's fucking stupid to have private police. I'm guessing you are very young or you don't get out much / haven't read much. Libertarian?

Another good reason not to fly unless it's totally necessary.

He's the communist he accuses others of being.

“Private companies”… in which his crooked family have stock, no doubt.

Fraud and corruption.

So what Republican donor owns a "security" company that is getting that contract?

Reminds me not to fly to Tampa specifically and Florida more generally

For some reason I thought the TSA was created because private airport security wasn’t working.

Before long, "physical AI" manufactured in some country or another will likely be handling the majority of tasks.

Staying away from Florida!

ICE will run the airport

Going the privatize route for TSA seems nieve.

What could possibly go wrong with this scenario Good grief, they’re stupid.

Oh dear, beware, a new form of ICE I fear!

Problem is putting the current government in charge yields that same result. 🫤

How much did trump receive for this one?
