TSA Gold+ program adds 3 airports for security changes

Tampa International Airport, Charleston International Airport, and Des Moines International Airport will join the TSA Gold+ program, which could lead to replacing TSA workers with private security screening. This program opens the possibility for increased privatization in airport security. The TSA's move towards privatization has raised concerns among unions about the potential implications for passenger safety. This situation is significant for passengers and investors as it may change operational costs and efficiency at those airports.
