Bill > S1180

This bill proposes to abolish the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) over a three-year period by mandating a comprehensive reorganization of airport and transportation security functions. The bill requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to develop a plan to transfer TSA's responsibilities, including establishing a new Office of Aviation Security Oversight within the Federal Aviation Administration and transitioning airport screening services to private screening companies. The legislation aims to privatize commercial airport security to improve cost-efficiency and eliminate what it considers unnecessary government bureaucracy. Key provisions include creating a new oversight office that cannot conduct screening services, developing a gradual personnel reduction plan, transferring surface transportation functions to the Department of Transportation, and prohibiting warrantless searches by private contractors. The bill also establishes a detailed congressional review process for the reorganization plan, including specific timelines for committee referral, reporting, and potential legislative action. Ultimately, the TSA would be completely abolished three years after the act's enactment, with all of its current programs and administrative responsibilities being repealed.
